For further information, a list of associated documents is also provided. 30 Chapter 1 Understanding W-CDMA What Is the W-CDMA Communications System? What Is the W-CDMA Communications System? Wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) is a popular air interface technologies for third generation RF cellular communications systems. In W-CDMA (3GPP), the cells operate asynchronously, which makes the mobile synchronization more complex, but offers the advantage of flexibility in placement of the base stations. Both reverse and forward transmitter power controls are implemented with 0.625 ms intervals. W-CDMA is a direct sequence spread-spectrum digital communications technique that supports wider RF bandwidths, typically from 5 to 20 MHz. The main advantages of W-CDMA over other types of communication schemes are: greater capacity immunity to signal loss and degradation due to high-level broadband interference, multipath, scattering, and fading power consumption of mobile stations is strictly minimized by both base station and mobile controls supports variable data rates up to 144 kbits/second for mobile (vehicular) data rate, up to 384 kbits/second for portable (pedestrian) data rate, and up to 2 Mbits/second for fixed installations provides increased security W-CDMA uses correlative codes to distinguish one user from another. Frequency division is still used, as is done with Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), but in a much larger bandwidth such as 5 MHz or greater. An initial baseband data rate is spread to a transmitted bit rate of 3.840 Mcps, which is also called chip rate or spread data rate. W-CDMA realizes increased capacity from 1:1 frequency reuse and sectored cells. The capacity limit is soft. That is, capacity can be increased with some degradation of the error rate or voice quality. In W-CDMA, a single user's channel consists of a specific frequency combined with a unique code. Correlative codes allow each user to operate in the presence of substantial interference. The interference is the sum of all other users on the same W-CDMA frequency, both from within and outside of the home cell, and from delayed versions of these signals. It also includes the usual thermal noise and atmospheric disturbances. Delayed signals caused by multipath are separately received and combined in W-CDMA. One of the major differences in access is that any W-CDMA frequency can be used in all sectors of all cells. This is possible because W-CDMA is designed to decode the proper signal in the presence of high interference. Chapter 1 31 Understanding W-CDMA What Does the Agilent E4406A VSA Do? What Does the Agilent E4406A VSA Do? The instrument can be used for the testing of a W-CDMA transmitter manufactured according to the documents such as TS 25.101 (for user equipment or mobile stations), TS 25.141 (for base stations or base transmission stations) and so forth. These documents define complex, multi-part measurements used to maintain an interference-free environment. For example, the documents include test methods for the power of a carrier, spectrum emission mask, intermodulation, and other measurements. The instrument automatically makes these measurements using the measurement methods and limits defined in the documents. The detailed results displayed by the measurements allow you to analyze W-CDMA system performance. You may alter the measurement parameters for specialized analysis. For infrastructure test, the instrument will test transmitters of base stations in a non-interfering manner by means of a coupler or power splitter. This instrument makes the following W-CDMA (3GPP) measurements: Channel Power Adjacent Channel Leakage Power Ratio (ACPR or ACLR) Intermodulation Products Multi Carrier Power Spectrum Emission Mask Occupied Bandwidth Code Domain Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) QPSK EVM Power Statistics CCDF Spectrum (Freq Domain) Waveform (Time Domain) 32 Chapter 1 Understanding W-CDMA Other Sources of Measurement Information Other Sources of Measurement Information Additional measurement application information is available through your local Agilent Technologies sales and service office.

Configuring the Measurement System For configuring the measurement system, the mobile station (MS) under test has to be set to transmit the RF power remotely through the system controller. This transmitting signal is connected to the instruments RF input port. Connect the equipment as shown. Figure 2-9 Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurement System 1. Using the appropriate cables, adapters, and circulator, connect the output signal of the MS to the RF input of the instrument. 2. Connect the base transmission station simulator or signal generator to the MS through the circulator to initiate a link constructed with the sync and pilot channels, if required. 3. Connect a BNC cable between the 10 MHz OUT port of the signal generator and the EXT REF IN port of the instrument. 4. Connect the system controller to the MS through the serial bus cable to control the MS operation. 60 Chapter 2 Getting Started Making the Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurement Setting the MS From the base transmission station simulator and/or the system controller, perform all of the call acquisition functions required for the MS to transmit the RF power as follows: Frequency: 1,920 MHz (Channel Number: 5 1,920 = 9,600) Physical Channels: DPCCH with one or more DPDCH Scramble Code: 0 Output Power: +21 dBm with Power Class 4 (or other power level for the MS) Measuring Procedure Step 1.

QPSK EVM is a measure of phase and amplitude modulation quality that relates the performance of the actual signal compared to an ideal signal as a percentage, calculated over the course of the ideal constellation. Configuring the Measurement System For configuring the measurement system, the mobile station (MS) under test has to be set to transmit the RF power remotely through the system controller. This transmitting signal is connected to the instruments RF input port. Connect the equipment as shown. Figure 2-10 QPSK EVM Measurement System 1.

Chapter 2 65 Getting Started Making the Power Stat CCDF Measurement Making the Power Stat CCDF Measurement This section explains how to make the power statistics CCDF (Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function) measurement on a W-CDMA (3GPP) mobile station. Power (CCDF) curves characterize the higher level power statistics of a digitally modulated signal. Configuring the Measurement System For configuring the measurement system, the mobile station (MS) under test has to be set to transmit the RF power remotely through the system controller. This transmitting signal is connected to the instruments RF input port. Connect the equipment as shown. Figure 2-11 Power Stat CCDF Measurement System 1.

Check the screen to see how the measurement will be repetitively made. If you have a problem, and get an error message, see If You Have a Problem on page 67 or the Instrument Messages and Functional Tests manual. Chapter 2 67 Getting Started If You Have a Problem If You Have a Problem During the execution of your measurement you may encounter problems which generate error codes. Reference to the following common errors may be helpful. If Err is shown in the annunciator bar, press the System, Show Errors hard and soft keys to read the detailed error information. Error Code 16 Input overload This error means that your measurement has erroneous results due to the excessive input power level. To correct this condition, the input signal level must be reduced by using the internal and/or external attenuators. Press the Mode Setup, Input, Input Atten keys to enter an attenuation value to reduce the transmitted power from the MS. This allowable range is up to 40 dB. If you want to attenuate more than 40 dB, connect your external attenuator between the RF INPUT port and the UUT. Be sure to add its attenuation value to the readings of the measurement result. To automate this calculation, press the Mode Setup, Input, Ext Atten keys to enter the additional attenuation value. The allowable range is up to 100 dB. The power readings of the measurement will take into account the external attenuation value. Error Code 501 Signal too noisy This error means that your input signal is too noisy to capture the correct I/Q components. To make a more stable measurement the trigger source may need to be set to Frame, for example. Error Code 503 Can not correlate to input signal This error means that the instrument has failed to find any active channels in the input signal as specified. To improve the correlation some critical parameter needs to be adjusted, like the input signal level or scramble code, for example. For more details consult the chapter in this book dedicated to the measurement in question, or Instrument Messages and Functional Tests, publication number E4406-90184. 68 Chapter 2 Getting Started If You Have a Problem 69 3 Setting Up the W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode This chapter provides information about setting up the W-CDMA (3GPP) mode, using the measurement key flow diagrams, and installing personalities. 70 Chapter 3 Setting Up the W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode You may want to install a new personality, reinstall a personality that you have previously uninstalled, or uninstall a personality. Instructions for installing and uninstalling personality options are under Installing Optional Measurement Personalities on page 103. To access the W-CDMA measurement personality, press the MODE key and select the W-CDMA (3GPP) key. If you are setting up Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs, refer to Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238. If you want to set the W-CDMA mode to a known, factory default state, press Preset. This will preset the mode setup and all of the measurements to the factory default parameters. Making a Measurement This instrument enables you to make a wide variety of measurements on digital communications equipment using Basic Mode measurement capabilities. It also has optional measurement personalities that make measurements based on industry standards. To set up the instrument to make measurements, you need to: 1. Select a mode or personality which corresponds to a digital communications format, like cdma2000, W-CDMA, or EDGE. Use the Basic mode to make measurements of signals with non-standard formats. After selection of the mode, adjustments to the mode settings may be made as required. 2. Select a specific measurement to be performed, like ACP, Channel Power, or EVM, etc. After selection of a measurement, adjustments to the measurement settings may be made as required. Depending on Measurement Control settings, the instrument will begin making the selected measurements. The resulting data will be shown on the display or available for export. 3. Select a front panel View to display the data from the current measurement. Depending on the mode and measurement selected, various graphical and tabular presentations are available. If you have a problem, and get an error message, see If You Have a Problem on page 67, or refer to the book Instrument Messages and Functional Tests for more detailed information on error messages. Chapter 3 71 Setting Up the W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode The main keys used in the three steps are shown in the table below. A setting may be reset at any time, and will be in effect on the next measurement cycle or View. Changing the Mode Setup Numerous settings can be changed at the mode level by pressing the Mode Setup key. This will access the menu with the selections listed below. The factory default settings are shown in tables. These settings affect only the measurements in the W-CDMA (3GPP) mode. Configuring the Radio The Radio key accesses the menu as follows: Device - Allows you to toggle the test device between BTS (Base Transmission Station) and MS (Mobile Station). Configuring the Input Port The Input key accesses the menu as follows: (You can also access this menu from the Input/Output front-panel key.) Input Port - Allows you to access the menu to select one of the signal input ports as follows: RF - Allows you to measure the RF signal supplied to the RF INPUT port. I/Q - (Requires Option B7C, see Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238) Allows you to make measurements on the baseband I/Q signals supplied to the I/Q input ports. 50 MHz Ref - Allows you to measure the 50 MHz reference signal to calibrate the instrument.

The RF path is switched to bring in the same alignment signal that is automatically switched to perform many alignments. IQ Align - (Requires Option B7C, see Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238.) Allows you to configure the I/Q alignment signals. I/Q Setup - (Requires Option B7C, see Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238.) RF Input Range - Allows you to toggle the input range control for the RF signal between Auto and Man (manual). If Auto is chosen, the instrument automatically sets the attenuator, based on the carrier power level where it is tuned. For example, once you change the Max Total Pwr or Input Atten value with the RPG knob the Input Range key is automatically set to Man. If there are multiple carriers present, the total power might overdrive the front end. In this case you need to set the Input Range to Man and enter the expected maximum total power by activating the Max Total Pwr key. Man is also useful to hold the input attenuation constant for the best relative power accuracy. For single carriers it is recommended that you set this to Auto. When Option B7C is installed, and Input Port is set to either I/Q, I only, or Q only, this key is grayed out Max Total Pwr - Allows you to set the maximum total power level from the UUT (Unit Under Test). The range is 200.00 to 100.00 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution. This is the expected maximum value of the mean carrier power referenced to the output of the UUT; it may include multiple carriers. The Max Total Pwr setting is coupled together with the Input Atten and Ext Atten settings. Once you change the Max Total Pwr value with the RPG knob, for example, the RF Input Range key is automatically set to Man. When Option B7C is installed, and Input Port is set to I/Q, this key label changes to I/Q Range. It controls the maximum input voltages of the baseband I/Q input signals. The ranges are 130.0 mV, 250.0 mV, 500.0 mV and 1.0 V. See Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238. Input Atten - Allows you to control the internal input attenuator setting. The range is 0 to 40 dB with 1 dB resolution. The Input Atten key shows the actual hardware value that is used for the current measurement. If more than one input attenuator value is used in a single measurement, the value used at the carrier frequency will be displayed. The Input Atten setting is coupled to the Max Total Pwr setting. Once you change the Input Atten setting with the RPG knob, for example, the RF Input Range key is automatically set to Man. (Not used with Option B7C; see Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238.) Chapter 3 73 Setting Up the W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode Ext Atten - Allows you to access the following menu to enter the external attenuation values. Either of the Ext Atten settings is coupled together with the RF Input Range setting, however, pressing Ext Atten does not switch the RF Input Range key to Man. This will allow the instrument to display the measurement results referenced to the output of the UUT. MS - Allows you to set an external attenuation value for MS tests. The range is 50.00 to +50.00 dB with 0.01 dB resolution. BTS - Allows you to set an external attenuation value for BTS tests. The range is 50.00 to +50.00 dB with 0.01 dB resolution. NOTE The Max Total Pwr and Input Atten settings are coupled together, so changing the input Max Total Pwr setting by x dB changes the Input Atten setting by x dB. When you switch to a different measurement, the Max Total Pwr setting is kept constant, but the Input Atten may change if the two measurements have different mixer margins. Therefore, you can set the input attenuator manually, or you can set it indirectly by specifying the expected maximum power from the UUT. Configuring the Trigger Condition The Trigger key allows you: (1) to access the trigger selection menu to specify each triggering condition, (2) to modify the default trigger holdoff time using Trig Holdoff, (3) to modify the auto trigger time and to activate or deactivate the auto trigger feature using Auto Trig, and (4) to modify the period of the frame timer using Frame Timer. Input Default Settings Input Port RF RF Input Range Auto a Max Total Pwr 15.00 dBm b Input Atten 0.00 dB b Ext Atten: MS BTS 0.00 dB 0.00 dB a. Auto is not available for Spectrum measurements. b. This may differ if the maximum input power is more than 15.00 dBm, or depending on the previous measurements. 74 Chapter 3 Setting Up the W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode NOTE The actual trigger source is selected separately for each measurement under the Meas Setup key. RF Burst, Video (Envlp), Ext Front, Ext Rear - Pressing one of these trigger keys will access each triggering condition setup menu. This menu is used to specify the Delay, Level and Slope settings for each trigger source as follows: Delay - Allows you to enter a numerical value to modify the trigger delay time. The range is 100.0 to +500.0 ms with 1 s resolution. For trigger delay use a positive value, and for pre-trigger use a negative value. Level - Allows you to enter a numerical value to adjust the trigger level depending on the trigger source selected. For RF Burst selection, the key label is Peak Level. The RF level range is 25.00 to 0.00 dB with 0.01 dB resolution, relative to the peak RF signal level. The realistic range can be down to 20 dB. For Video (Envlp) selection, the video level range is 200.00 to +50.00 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution at the RF input. The realistic range can be down to around 50 dBm depending on the noise floor level of the input signal. For Ext Front or Ext Rear selection, the level range is 5.00 to +5.00 V with 1 or 10 mV resolution. Slope - Allows you to toggle the trigger slope between Pos at the positive-going edge and Neg at the negative-going edge of the burst signal. There are other keys under the Trigger key as follows: Trig Holdoff - Allows you to set the period of time before the next trigger can occur. The range is 0.000 s to 500.0 ms with 1 s resolution. Auto Trig - Allows you to specify a time for a trigger timeout and toggle the auto trigger function between On and Off. The range is 1.000 ms to 1.000 ks with 1 s resolution. If no trigger occurs by the specified time, a trigger is automatically generated. Frame Timer - Allows you to access the menu to manually control the frame timer: Period - Allows you to set the period of the frame clock. The range is 0.000 ns to 559.0000 ms with 1 ps resolution. Offset - Allows you to set the offset of the frame clock. The range is 0.000 to 10.00 s with 100 ns resolution over 1.000 s range. Chapter 3 75 Setting Up the W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode W-CDMA (3GPP) Mode Reset Offset Display - Allows you to display without any offset of the frame clock. Sync Source - Allows you to access the menu to select one of the sources to be synchronized with. Off - Allows you to turn the synchronizing source off for asynchronous tests. Ext Front - Allows you to select the external input signal from the front-panel input port as the synchronizing source. Ext Rear - Allows you to select the external input signal from the rear panel input port as the synchronizing source.

The selections made here will apply to all measurements in the mode. Press the FREQUENCY Channel key to access the following menu: Center Freq - Allows you to enter a frequency that corresponds to the desired RF channel to be measured. This is the current instrument center frequency. The range is 1.000 kHz to 4.32140 GHz with 1 Hz resolution. CF Step - Allows you to enter a center frequency step to shift the measurement segment, and to toggle the step function between Auto and Man. If set to Auto, the CF Step value automatically changes according to the selection of the standard. The range is 1.000 kHz to 1.00000 GHz with 1 Hz resolution.

Data acquisition will automatically begin when trigger requirements, if any, are met. Chapter 4 111 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Preparing for Measurements Preparing for Measurements If you want to set the W-CDMA (3GPP) mode to a known, factory default state, press Preset. This will initialize the instrument by setting the mode setup and all of the measurements to the factory default parameters. You should often be able to make a measurement using these defaults. NOTE Pressing the Preset key does not switch instrument modes. To preset only the parameter settings that are specific to the selected measurement, press Meas Setup, More (1 of 2), Restore Meas Defaults. This will reset the measurement setup parameters, only for the currently selected measurement, to the factory defaults. Initial Setup Before activating a measurement, make sure the mode setup and frequency channel parameters are set to the desired settings. Refer to the sections Changing the Mode Setup on page 71 and Changing the Frequency Channel on page 76. Measurement Selection The MEASURE front-panel key accesses the menu to select one of the following measurements: Channel Power - Press this key to activate channel power measurements. This is the in-channel power measurement. The channel power graph is displayed in the graph window and both the absolute channel power and mean power spectral density are shown in the text window. ACPR (ACLR) - Press this key to activate adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) measurements. This is also called Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR). This is the out-of-channel power measurement. The following windows are available: Bar graph display to show a histogram of powers within the channel integration bandwidth Spectrum display to show a power distribution curve, like a swept-frequency spectrum analyzer, relative to the center frequency power of the carrier signal Intermod - Press this key to activate intermodulation products measurements. Three measurement modes are available as follows: Auto - Automatically identifies one of two modes between two-tone or transmit intermodulation products. 112 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Preparing for Measurements Two-tone - Measurements are made assuming two signals present in the span are the two tone signals. Transmit IM - Measurements are made assuming the lower frequency signal to be the modulated transmitting signal and the upper frequency signal to be the tone signal. Multi Carrier Power - Press this key to activate multi carrier power measurements. All power levels of two input carriers, the channels between them, and out-of-channels from them are measured by applying two input carriers of which offset should be either 5 MHz, 10 MHz, or 15 MHz. The third, fifth, and seventh order intermodulation products can be measured by setting the measurement mode. Spectrum Emission Mask - Press this key to activate spectrum emission mask measurements. The measurement mask is configurable with flat and sloped lines according to the radio specifications. Spurious Emission measurements can be done with some restrictions of the upper frequency bandwidth by selecting Region in Spectrum Segment. Occupied BW - Press this key to activate occupied bandwidth measurements. The frequency bandwidth that contains 100.0% of the total power is measured first, and then 99.0% of the frequency bandwidth is calculated as the measurement result. Code Domain - Press this key to activate code domain power (CDP) measurements. The amount of power in each code channel is displayed. The following windows are available: Power graph and metrics to show the code domain power and the summary data Quad view of the I/Q errors in graphs for the spread rate selected, and the summary data Quad view of the code domain power, the selected symbol power vs. symbol rate, and the selected symbol EVM polar vector graphs, and the summary data Triad view of the code domain power and the selected symbol power graphs, and the selected demodulated bits stream text Mod Accuracy (Composite EVM) - Press this key to activate modulation accuracy (composite EVM) measurements. The input signal should contain only the Perch channel. This is essentially a code domain power measurement with one active channel.

This is helpful to observe the time domain characteristics of a spread spectrum signal that can significantly affect the ACPR measurement results for a given UUT. Spectrum (Freq Domain) - Press this key to activate frequency domain spectrum measurements. The following windows are available: Spectrum graph with the semi-log graticules and I/Q waveform graph with the linear graticules Linear spectrum graph with the linear graticules I and Q waveform graphs with the linear graticules I/Q polar graph with the linear graticules Waveform (Time Domain) - Press this key to activate time domain waveform measurements. The following windows are available: Signal Envelope graph with the semi-log graticules and the summary data Linear Envelope graph and phase graph with the linear graticules and the summary data I/Q waveform graph with the linear graticules I/Q polar graph with the linear graticules Measurement Control The Meas Control front-panel key accesses the menu to control processes that affect the running of the current measurement. Restart - Press this key to repeat the current measurement from the beginning, while retaining the current measurement settings. This is equivalent to the Restart front-panel key. 114 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Preparing for Measurements Measure- Press this key (not to be confused with the MEASURE front-panel key which has a different function) to toggle the measurement state between Single and Cont (continuous). When set to Single, the measurement will continue until it has reached the specified number of averages set by the average counter. When set to Cont, the measurement will run continuously and execute averaging according to the current average mode, either repeat or exponential. The default setting for most measurements is Cont, except for the code domain measurement and the power statistics CCDF measurement which have Single as the default. Pause - Press this key to pause the current measurement until you reactivate the measurement. Once toggled, the label of the Pause key changes to read Resume. The Resume key, once pressed, continues the active measurement from the point at which it was paused. Measurement Setup The Meas Setup key accesses the features that enable you to adjust parameters of the current measurement, such as span and resolution bandwidth, according to the measurement function. You will also use the Meas Setup menu to access the Average, Limit Test, Advanced and other feature menus. The following measure setup features can be used with many or all measurements: Restore Meas Defaults - Allows you to preset only the settings that are specific to the selected measurement by pressing Meas Setup, More (1 of 2), Restore Meas Defaults. This will set the measure setup parameters, for the currently selected measurement only, to the factory defaults. Averaging Selecting one of the averaging keys in the Meas Setup menu will allow you to modify the average number and averaging mode you use for the currently selected measurement. For spectrum (frequency domain) and waveform (time domain) measurements the Average key activates the following menu: Avg Number - Allows you to change the number of N averages to be made. Avg Mode - Allows you to toggle the averaging mode between Exp (exponential) and Repeat. This selection only effects on the averaging result after the number of N averages is reached. The N variable is set using the Avg Number key. Chapter 4 115 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Preparing for Measurements Normal averaging: Normal (linear) averaging is always used until the specified number of N averages is reached. When the Measure key under Meas Control is set to Single, data acquisition is stopped when the number of N averages is reached, thus Avg Mode has no effect in the single measurement mode. Exponential averaging: When Measure is set to Cont, data acquisition will continue indefinitely. Exponential averaging is used with a weighting factor of N (the displayed count of averages stops at N). Exponential averaging weights new data more heavily than old data, which allows tracking of slow-changing signals. The weighting factor N is set using the Avg Number key. Repeat averaging: When Measure is set to Cont, data acquisition will continue indefinitely. After the number of N averages is reached, all previous result data is cleared and the average count displayed is set back to 1. This is equivalent to being in Measure Single and pressing the Restart key each time the single measurement finishes. Avg Type - Allows you to access the menu of the following average types only for making spectrum (frequency domain) and waveform (time domain) measurements: Pwr Avg (RMS) - Executes the true power averaging which is equivalent to taking the rms of the voltage. This is the most accurate type. Log-Pwr Avg (Video) - Simulates the traditional spectrum analyzer type of averaging by calculating the log of the power. Voltage Avg - Executes the voltage averaging. Maximum - Executes the maximum voltage averaging by capturing peak data. Minimum - Executes the minimum voltage averaging. Selecting a Trigger Source Changing the selection in the Trig Source menu alters the trigger source for the selected measurement only. Not all of the selections are always available for all measurements. Also, some W-CDMA (3GPP) measurements do not require a trigger. Choose one of the following trigger sources depending on the selected measurement: NOTE The RF Burst, Video (Envlp), Ext FrontExt Rear keys found under the Trigger menu enable you to change the default settings of the delay, level and slope for each of these trigger sources. Free Run (Immediate) - A trigger occurs at the time the data is requested, completely asynchronous with the RF or IF signal. 116 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Preparing for Measurements Video (Envlp) - An internal IF envelope trigger that occurs at the absolute threshold level of the IF signal level. RF Burst (Wideband) - An internal wideband RF burst trigger that has the automatic level control for burst signals. It triggers at the level that is set relative to the peak RF signal (12 MHz bandwidth) input level. Ext Front - Activates the front-panel external trigger input (EXT TRIGGER INPUT) port. The external signal must be between 5.00 and +5.00 V with 1 or 10 mV resolution. Ext Rear - Activates the rear-panel external trigger input (TRIGGER IN) port. The external signal must be between 5.00 and +5.00 V with 1 or 10 mV resolution. Frame - Uses the internal frame clock to generate a trigger signal. The clock parameters are controlled under the Mode Setup key or the measurement firmware, but not both. See the specific measurement for details. Line - Sets the trigger to the internal line mode. Sweep triggers occur at intervals synchronous to the line frequency. This trigger source is available for spectrum (frequency domain) and waveform (time domain) measurements. Using the Trigger Outputs The rear panel TRIGGER 1 OUT and TRIGGER 2 OUT connectors are coupled to the selected trigger source. These trigger outputs are always on at the rising edge with a pulse width of at least 1 s. Chapter 4 117 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Channel Power Measurement Making the Channel Power Measurement Purpose The Channel Power measurement is a common test used in the wireless industry to measure the total transmitted power of a radio within a defined frequency channel. This procedure measures the total power within the defined channel for W-CDMA (3GPP). This measurement is applied to design, characterize, evaluate, and verify transmitters and their components or devices for base stations and mobile stations. Measurement Method The Channel Power measurement reports the total transmitted power within the integration bandwidth, 5.00 MHz for the 3GPP mode. The measurement acquires a number of points representing the input signal in the time domain. It transforms this information into the frequency domain using FFT and then calculates the channel power. The effective resolution bandwidth of the frequency domain trace is proportional to the number of points acquired for FFT. The fastest FFT process is achieved using a number of acquired points that is a power of 2 (for example: 64, 128, 512). Since the measurement is optimized for speed and accuracy, you are permitted to change only the number of acquired data points in powers of 2, not the actual resolution bandwidth which is shown in gray. However, if absolute sweep time is required, it can be changed to the users specific value at the expense of reduced speed. At no time will both sweep time and data points be set to manual because of conflicting parameter settings. This flexibility is available through the Advanced menu of the channel power measurement. To improve repeatability, you can increase either the number of averages or the number of data points with longer time record length. The channel power graph is shown in the graph window, while the absolute channel power in dBm and the mean power spectral density in dBm/Hz are shown in the text window. This measurement is available for use with both the RF input and baseband I/Q inputs. For details on Baseband I/Q operation see the section on Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238. 118 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Channel Power Measurement Making the Measurement NOTE The factory default settings provide a good starting point. You may want to change some of the settings. Press Meas Setup, More (1 of 2), Restore Meas Defaults at any time to return all parameters for the current measurement to their default settings. Select the desired center frequency as described in Changing the Frequency Channel. Press MEASURE, Channel Power to immediately make a channel power measurement. To change any of the measurement parameters from the factory default values, refer to the Changing the Measurement Setup section. Results The next figure is an example of of a Channel Power measurement result. The channel power graph is shown in the graph window. The absolute channel power and its mean power spectral density are shown in the text window. Figure 4-1 Channel Power Measurement *Meas Setup: Factory default settings *Input signal: 20.00 dBm, Test Model 1 (16 DPCH) Chapter 4 119 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Channel Power Measurement Changing the Measurement Setup The next table shows the factory default settings for channel power measurements. NOTE Parameters under the Advanced key seldom need to be changed. Any changes from the factory default values may result in invalid measurement data. Make sure the Channel Power measurement is selected under the MEASURE menu. The Meas Setup key accesses the menu which allows you to modify the average number and average mode for this measurement. The following parameters can be changed according to your measurement requirement: Integ BW - Allows you to specify the integration bandwidth in which the power is measured. The range is 1.000 kHz to 10.0000 MHz with 1 Hz resolution. Since Integ BW is coupled to Chan Power Span in the factory default condition, if you change the integration bandwidth setting, the channel power span setting changes by a proportional amount, equal to 1.2 times the integration bandwidth, until a limit value is reached. The default Integ BW is 3.84 MHz. Table 4-1 Channel Power Measurement Defaults Measurement Parameter Factory Default Condition Meas Setup: Avg Number 200; On Avg Mode Repeat Integ BW a a. The Integ BW setting proportionally changes the Chan Power Span setting up to 10 MHz. 5.00000 MHz Chan Power Span a 6.00000 MHz Advanced Sweep Time 17.0 s; Auto Data Points 512; Auto Res BW (grayed out) 111.429 kHz (grayed out) Trig Source Free Run (Immediate) 120 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Channel Power Measurement Chan Power Span - Allows you to set the frequency span for the channel power measurement. The range is 1.000 kHz to 10.0000 MHz with 1 Hz resolution. This span is used for the current integration bandwidth setting. Since Chan Power Span is coupled to Integ BW in the factory default condition, if you change the integration bandwidth setting, the channel power span setting changes by a proportional amount, equal to 1.2 times the integration bandwidth, until a limit value is reached. However, the channel power span can be individually set. The default Chan Power Span is Advanced - Allows you to access the following menu to modify the channel power measurement parameters: Sweep Time - Allows you to manually change the sweep time and also to toggle the sweep time control between Auto and Man (manual). The range is 1.0 s to 50.00 ms with 1 s resolution. If set to Auto, the sweep time derived from the data point setting is shown on this key regardless of the manual entry range. Data Points - Allows you to select the number of data points and also to toggle the data point control between Auto and Man (manual). The range is 64 to 65536 with the acceptable entry in powers of 2 (for example: 64, 128, 512). If set to Auto, the optimum number of points is determined for the fastest measurement time with acceptable repeatability. The minimum number of points that could be used is determined by the sweep time and the sampling rate. You can increase the length of the measured time record (capture more of the burst) by increasing the number of points, but the measurement will take longer. Res BW - Shows information on the resolution bandwidth derived from the sweep time. This key is always grayed out. Trig Source - Allows you to choose a trigger source from Free Run (Immediate), Video (Envlp), RF Burst, Ext Front, Ext Rear, Frame, or Line. Changing the Display The AMPLITUDE Y Scale key accesses the menu to set the desired vertical scale and associated settings: Scale/Div - Allows you to enter a numeric value to change the vertical display sensitivity. The range is 0.10 to 20.00 dB with 0.01 dB resolution. The default setting is 10.00 dB. However, since the Scale Coupling default is On, this value is automatically determined by the measurement result. Ref Value - Allows you to set the absolute power reference value ranging from 250.00 to 250.00 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution. The default setting is 10.00 dBm. However, since the Scale Coupling default is On, this value is automatically determined by the measurement result. Chapter 4 121 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Channel Power Measurement Ref Position - Allows you to set the display reference position to either Top, Ctr (center), or Bot (bottom). The default setting is Top. Scale Coupling - Allows you to toggle the scale coupling function between On and Off. The default setting is On. Upon pressing the Restart front-panel key or Restart softkey under the Meas Control menu, this function automatically determines the scale per division and reference values based on the measurement results. Using the Marker The Marker key is not available for this measurement function. Troubleshooting Hints If an external attenuator is used, be sure to use the Ext RF Atten key to include the attenuation value in the displayed measurement result. The channel power measurement, along with the adjacent channel power ratio measurement and spectrum measurements, can reveal the effects of degraded or defective parts in the transmitter section of the UUT. The following are areas of concern which can contribute to performance degradation: DC power supply control of the transmitter power amplifier, RF power control of the pre-power amplifier stage, and/or I/Q control of the baseband stage. Gain and output power levels of the power amplifier, caused by degraded gain control and/or increased distortion. Amplifier linearity. 122 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) Measurement Making the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) Measurement Purpose Adjacent Channel PowerRatio (ACPR), as it applies to W-CDMA (3GPP), is the power contained in a specified frequency channel bandwidth relative to the total carrier power. It may also be expressed as a ratio of power spectral densities between the carrier and the specified offset frequency band. This is also called Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR). As a composite measurement of out-of-channel emissions, ACPR combines both in-band and out-of-band specifications to provide useful figures-of-merit for spectral regrowth and emissions produced by components and circuit blocks without the rigor of performing a full spectrum emissions mask measurement. To maintain a quality call by avoiding channel interference, it is important to measure and reduce any adjacent channel leakage power transmitted from a mobile phone. The characteristics of adjacent channel leakage power are mainly determined by the transmitter design, particularly the low-pass filter. Measurement Method This ACPR measurement analyzes the total power levels within the defined carrier bandwidth and at given frequency offsets on both sides of the carrier frequency. This measurement requires the user to specify measurement bandwidths of the carrier channel and each of the offset frequency pairs up to 5. Each pair may be defined with unique measurement bandwidths. It uses an integration bandwidth (IBW) method that performs a time domain data acquisition and applies FFT to get a frequency domain trace. In this process, the channel integration bandwidth is analyzed using the automatically defined resolution bandwidth (RBW), which is much narrower than the channel bandwidth. The measurement computes an average power of the channel over a specified number of data acquisitions, automatically compensating for resolution bandwidth and noise bandwidth. If Total Pwr Ref is selected as the measurement type, the results are displayed as relative power in dBc and as absolute power in dBm. If PSD Ref (Power Spectral Density Reference) is selected, the results are displayed as relative power in dB, and as absolute power in dBm/Hz. Chapter 4 123 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) Measurement Recommended Offset Frequencies and Reference Bandwidths While the user sets the specific offsets and reference bandwidths, the radio specifications recommend some common setups as shown in the following table. Making the Measurement The factory default settings provide a good starting point. For special requirements, you many want to change some of the settings. Press Meas Setup, More, Restore Meas Defaults at any time to return all parameters for the current measurement to their default settings. Select the desired center frequency as described in the Changing the Frequency Channel section. Press MEASURE, ACP ACPR (ACLR) to immediately make an adjacent channel power ratio measurement. To change any of the measurement parameters from the factory default values, refer to the Changing the Measurement Setup section of this measurement. Results The following figure shows an example result of ACPR (Total Pwr Ref) measurements in the bar graph window. The absolute and relative power levels on both sides of the carrier frequency are displayed in the graphic window and text window.

The Meas Setup key accesses the menu which allows you to modify the average number and average mode for this measurement. In addition, the following parameters for adjacent channel power ratio measurements can be modified: Chan Integ BW - Allows you to specify the channel integration bandwidth in which the channel power levels are measured. The range is 300.0 Hz to 20.0000 MHz with 1 Hz resolution. If Sweep Type is set to Fast, this key is grayed out. Ofs & Limits - Allows you to access the menu to change the following parameters for offset frequency settings and pass/fail tests: Offset - Allows you to access the memory selection menu from A to E to store 5 sets of values for Offset Freq, Ref BW, Abs Limit and so forth. Only one selection at a time (A, B, C, D, or E) is shown on this key. Offset Freq - Allows you to enter an offset frequency value, and to toggle the offset frequency function between On and Off, according to each offset key selected. The range is 0.0 Hz to 100.000 MHz. While this key is activated, enter an offset frequency value from the numeric keypad by terminating with one of the frequency unit keys shown. One offset frequency value selected from the Offset menu is shown on this key. Ref BW - Allows you to enter a reference bandwidth ranging from 300.0 Hz to 20.0000 MHz with 1 Hz resolution. When this parameter is changed, the integration bandwidth Integ BW in the summary data window changes to that value. Abs Limit - Allows you to enter an absolute limit value ranging from 200.00 to +50.00 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution. Fail - Allows you to access the following menu to select one of the logic keys for fail conditions between the measurement results and the test limits: Absolute - Fail is shown if one of the absolute ACPR measurement results is larger than the limit for Abs Limit. Relative - Fail is shown if one of the relative ACPR measurement results is larger than the limit for Rel Lim (Car) or Rel Lim (PSD). Abs AND Rel - Fail is shown if one of the absolute ACPR measurement results is larger than the limit for Abs Limit AND one of the relative ACPR measurement results is larger than the limit for Rel Lim (Car) or Rel Lim (PSD). Chapter 4 127 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) Measurement Abs OR Rel - Fail is shown if one of the absolute ACPR measurement results is larger than the limit for Abs Limit OR one of the relative ACPR measurement results is larger than the limit for Rel Lim (Car) or Rel Lim (PSD). Rel Lim (Car) - Allows you to enter a relative limit value of the carrier level ranging from 200.00 to +50.00 dBc with 0.01 dB resolution. Rel Lim (PSD) - Allows you to enter a relative limit value of the power spectral density level ranging from 200.00 to +50.00 dB with 0.01 dB resolution. Meas Type - Allows you to access the menu to select one of the measurement reference types. Total Pwr Ref - Select this to set the total carrier power to the measurement reference level and the measured data is shown in dBc and dBm. PSD Ref - Select this to set the mean power spectral density of the carrier to the measurement reference level and the measured data is shown in dB and dBm/Hz. Sweep Type - Allows you to toggle the sweep function between FFT, and Swp (swept), or Fast. If set to FFT, data acquisition is made with the narrow channel integration bandwidth and apply Fast Fourier Transform to convert to the frequency domain data. If set to Fast, the data acquisition is made with the wide channel integration bandwidth and the time-domain data is divided into the narrow data to apply FFT. This is faster than FFT but less accurate in power levels. In both cases, only the Bar Graph view is available. If set to Swp, the measurement is made by the swept spectrum method like the traditional swept frequency spectrum analysis to have better correlation to the input signal with a high crest factor (peak/average ratio). However, it may take a longer time. Also, only the Spectrum view is available.

If set to Auto, this is automatically set to a value according to the sweep span derived from Offset Freq and Ref BW. If set to Man, this is manually changed. The range is 1.000 kHz to 1.00000 MHz with 1 Hz resolution. Swp Det - Allows you to toggle the sweep detector type between Avg (average) and Peak, when Sweep Type is set to Swp, otherwise this key is grayed out. Advanced - Allows you to access the menu to set the following parameters: Swp Acq Time - Allows you to set the data acquisition time when Sweep Type is set to Swp. The range is 500.0 s to 10.00 ms with 1 s resolution. RRC Filter - Allows you to toggle the root-raised cosine filter function between On and Off. This is grayed out if Sweep Type is set to Fast. Filter Alpha - Allows you to change the alpha value of the RRC filter. The range is 0.010 to 0.500 with 0.001 resolution. This is grayed out if Sweep Type is set to Fast. Offset Ch Range (FAST Mode) - Allows you to optimize the ADC input range aligned with the input signal by changing ADC Range and Relative Atten (attenuation) if Sweep Type is set to Fast. ADC Range - Allows you to access the following selection menu to define one of the ADC ranging functions: Auto - Select this to set the ADC range automatically. For most FFT measurements, the auto feature should not be selected. An exception is when measuring a signal which is bursty, in which case Auto can maximize the time domain dynamic range, if FFT results are less important to you than time domain results. Auto Peak - Select this to set the ADC range automatically to the peak signal level. Auto Peak is a compromise that works well for both CW and burst signals. Auto Peak Lock - Select this to hold the ADC range automatically at the peak signal level. Auto Peak Lock is more stable than Auto Peak for CW signals, but should not be used for bursty signals. Chapter 4 129 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) Measurement Manual - Allows you to access the selection menu: 6 dB, 0 dB, +6 dB, +12 dB, +18 dB, +24 dB, to set the ADC range level. To optimize the ADC range, set the Manual range value and the Relative Atten value so that the error message Input overload is not displayed. Also, note that manual ranging is best for a CW signal. Relative Atten - Allows you to enter a relative amount of attenuation for the measurements at the offset channels in the fast mode. The range is 40.00 to 40.00 dB with 0.01 dB resolution. The value of this function is set in conjunction with the Manual range value. This attenuation is always specified relative to the attenuation that is required to measure the carrier channel. Since the offset channel power is lower than the carrier channel power, less attenuation is required to measure the offset channels and wider dynamic range is available for the measurement. Changing the View The View/Trace key accesses the menu to select either Bar Graph or Spectrum for the measurement result, depending on the Sweep Type setting. Bar Graph - In the factory default condition 5 of the total integration power levels, centered at the carrier frequency and5.0 MHz and 10.0 MHz offset frequencies, are shown in the figure for the Results section. The corresponding measured data is shown in the text window. Depending on the Meas Type selection, one of the two following displays is obtained: Bar Graph (Total Pwr Ref) - A histogram of powers referenced to the total power Bar Graph (PSD Ref) - A histogram of powers referenced to the mean power spectral density of the carrier in dBm/Hz If Sweep Type is set Fast, the figure changes as follows and only Bar Graph is available for View/Trace.as shown in Figure 4-3. 130 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) Measurement Figure 4-3 ACPR Measurement - Fast Bar Graph (Total Pwr Ref) View *Meas Setup: Sweep Type = Fast, Other factory default settings *Input signal: 20.00 dBm, Test Model 1 (16 DPCH) Spectrum - In the factory default condition, the frequency spectrum with the FFT sweep type is displayed with the bandwidth marker lines in the graph window.

Select Swp for the more accurate spectrum graph. While in this view, you can change the vertical scale by pressing the AMPLITUDE Y Scale key. You can also activate or deactivate the reference bandwidth markers by pressing the Display key. Changing the Display If View/Trace is set to Spectrum, the AMPLITUDE Y Scale key accesses the menu to set the desired measurement scale and associated parameters: Scale/Div - Allows you to enter a numeric value to change the vertical display sensitivity. The range is 0.10 to 20.00 dB with 0.01 dB resolution. The default setting is 10.00 dB. However, since the Scale Coupling default is On, this value is automatically determined by the measurement result. Chapter 4 133 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) Measurement Ref Value - Allows you to set the absolute power reference value ranging from 250.00 to 250.00 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution. The default setting is 10.00 dBm. However, since the Scale Coupling default is On, this value is automatically determined by the measurement result. Ref Position - Allows you to set the reference position to either Top, Ctr (center), or Bot (bottom). The default setting is Top. Scale Coupling - Allows you to toggle the scale coupling function between On and Off. The default setting is On. Upon pressing the Restart front-panel key or Restart softkey under the Meas Control menu, this function automatically determines the scale per division and reference values based on the measurement results. If View/Trace is set to Spectrum, the Display key also accesses the menu to control the line markers as follows: Ref BW Marker - Allows you to toggle the reference bandwidth markers function between On and Off. If set to On, the vertical line markers with the reference bandwidth are shown on the measurement result display. Using the Marker The Marker key is not available for this measurement function. Troubleshooting Hints This adjacent channel power ratio measurement can reveal degraded or defective parts in the transmitter section of the UUT. The following examples are those areas to be checked further. Some faults in the DC power supply control of the transmitter power amplifier, RF power controller of the pre-power amplifier stage, or I/Q control of the baseband stage Some degradation in the gain and output power level of the amplifier due to the degraded gain control and/or increased distortion Some degradation of the amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics Power amplifiers are one of the final stage elements of a base or mobile transmitter and are a critical part of meeting the important power and spectral efficiency specifications. Since ACPR measures the spectral response of the amplifier to a complex wideband signal, it is a key measurement linking amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics to the stringent system specifications. 134 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Intermodulation Measurement Making the Intermodulation Measurement Purpose Intermodulation products are generated by nonlinear components or devices in an instrument where two signals are present, one desired and the other unwanted. This is a measure of intermodulation signals generated in a transmitters nonlinear elements, caused by the presence of the desired signal and an interfering signal reaching the transmitter via the antenna. Measurement Method The intermodulation measurement measures the third-order and fifth- order intermodulation products caused by the wanted signal and the interfering signal. These intermodulation products are generated by the nonlinear devices or circuits in a transmitter. The measured results are evaluated as a ratio, relative to the carrier power. 3GPP defines the transmit intermodulation as a measure of transmitter capability. There are two types of intermodulation: Two-tone - Measurements are made assuming two CW signals to be the tone signals. Transmit IM - Measurements are made assuming that one signal is the modulated transmitting signal and another is the CW tone signal. This measurement automatically identifies either two-tone intermodulation mode or transmit intermodulation mode at the start of measurements. The fundamental signals, lower and upper, are automatically searched every sweep to calculate the proper results. When a measurement starts, the highest two peaks at frequencies f0 and f1 are searched within a given span. Based on these frequencies, the possible frequencies for third-order and fifth-order intermodulation products are calculated. The power bandwidth is checked to determine if the mode is two-tone or transmit intermodulation. To avoid erroneous measurement results, it is recommended that either the upper or lower signal is set to the center frequency. This will ensure that the internal attenuator in the automatic input range control mode will be used to make appropriate measurements. The results are displayed both as relative power in dBc and as absolute power in dBm. For transmit intermodulation products, the result is also shown as the power spectral density in dBm/MHz.

The following examples are those areas to be checked further if intermodulation distortion occurs: Faulty DC power supply control of the transmitter power amplifier. RF power controller of the pre-power amplifier stage. I/Q control of the baseband stage. Reduction in the gain and output power level of the amplifier due to a degraded gain control and/or increased distortion. Degradation of the amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics. Power amplifiers are one of the final stage elements of a base or mobile transmitter and play a critical part in meeting the important power and spectral efficiency specifications. Measuring the spectral response of the amplifiers to complex wideband signals is crucial to linking amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics to the stringent system specifications. Chapter 4 141 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Multi Carrier Power Measurement Making the Multi Carrier Power Measurement Purpose This measurement is for adjusting multi carrier power amplifiers to transmit well balanced multiple carriers. In this measurement, two carrier inputs are required to make measurements of the in-channels and out-of-channels powers. Four carrier inputs can be measured, even if the reference channel selection is limited to two out of four carriers. If a power amplifier accepts multiple carriers, the intermodulation products caused by these carriers will act to decrease the performance of the amplifier. Measurement Method This measurement method is very similar to a combination of the ACPR measurement (specifically, making measurements with the measuring mode of All Channels) and the intermodulation products measurement (specifically, making measurements with the measuring mode of 3rd IM Only or 3rd/5,7th IM). If there are two carriers, the second carrier frequency needs to be offset by a multiple of 5 MHz from the center carrier frequency. This multiplier ranges from 1 to 3, resulting in the offset frequencies of 15 MHz, 10 MHz, 5 MHz, +5 MHz, +10 MHz, and +15 MHz. If Meas Mode is set to All Channels, the center and second carrier levels along with the power levels in the lower and upper offset channels are listed in the text window. The lower offset channels are referenced to the lower frequency carrier channel, and the upper offset channels are referenced to the upper frequency carrier channel. Depending on the selection of the second carrier offsets, one or two 5 MHz offset channels can be displayed between the center and second carrier channels. If 2nd Carrier Offset is set to either 15 MHz or +15 MHz, the power levels at 5, 5, 10, and 15 MHz offset channels from the lower and upper frequency carrier channels are measured in that order. The 5 MHz offset channel from the lower frequency carrier is displayed immediately to the right of the lower frequency carrier channel. The 5 MHz offset channel from the upper frequency carrier is displayed immediately to the left of the upper frequency carrier channel. If 2nd Carrier Offset is set to either 10 MHz or +10 MHz, the power levels at 5 MHz offset channels from the lower frequency carrier and 5 and 10 MHz offset channels from the lower and upper frequency carrier channels are measured. 142 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Multi Carrier Power Measurement If 2nd Carrier Offset is set to either 5 MHz or +5 MHz, the power levels at 5 and 10 MHz offset channels from the lower and upper frequency carrier channels are measured. If Meas Mode is set to 3rd IM Only or 3rd/5,7th IM, the intermodulation product levels caused by two carriers are measured in the offset channels corresponding to the selection of the second carrier offset. For getting the relative measurement results in addition to the absolute power levels, the reference channel power can be set to either the center carrier, second carrier, average of two carriers, or automatic selection. This automatic selection is to identify the highest power level in two carrier powers as the reference channel power. Auto (Lower) is shown if the lower frequency carrier power is equal to or larger than that of the upper frequency carrier. Auto (Upper) is shown if the upper frequency carrier power is larger than that of the lower frequency carrier. Making the Measurement NOTE The factory default settings provide a good starting point. For special requirements, you may need to change some of the settings.

Troubleshooting Hints If there is a frequency channel dependency in the operating characteristics of a multi carrier power amplifier, it is supposed that this amplifier might have channel balance problems due to spurious response, distortion, and/or intermodulation products. 148 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Spectrum Emission Mask Measurement Making the Spectrum Emission Mask Measurement Purpose The Spectrum Emission Mask measurement includes the in-band and out-of-band spurious emissions. As it applies to W-CDMA (3GPP), this is the power contained in a specified frequency bandwidth at certain offsets relative to the total carrier power. It may also be expressed as a ratio of power spectral densities between the carrier and the specified offset frequency band. This spectrum emission mask measurement is a composite measurement of out-of-channel emissions, combining both in-band and out-of-band specifications. It provides useful figures-of-merit for the spectral regrowth and emissions produced by components and circuit blocks, without the rigor of performing a full spectrum emissions mask measurement. Measurement Method The spectrum emission mask measurement measures spurious signal levels in up to five pairs of offset/region frequencies and relates them to the carrier power. The reference channel integration bandwidth method is used to measure the carrier channel power and offset/region powers. When Offset is selected, spectrum emission mask measurements are made, relative to the carrier channel frequency bandwidth. When Region is selected, spurious emission absolute measurements are made, set by specifying start and stop RF frequencies. The upper frequency range limit is 3.678 GHz. This integration bandwidth method is used to perform a data acquisition. In this process, the reference channel integration bandwidth (Meas BW) is analyzed using the automatically defined resolution bandwidth (Res BW), which is much narrower than the channel bandwidth. The measurement computes an average power of the channel or offset/region over a specified number of data acquisitions, automatically compensating for resolution bandwidth and noise bandwidth. This measurement requires the user to specify the measurement bandwidths of carrier channel and each of the offset/region frequency pairs up to 5. Each pair may be defined with unique measurement bandwidths. The results are displayed both as relative power in dBc, and as absolute power in dBm. Refer to Table 4-8 on page 154 for the default values of offset and region frequencies, resolution bandwidths, and limits.

Troubleshooting Hints This spectrum emission mask measurement can reveal degraded or defective parts in the transmitter section of the UUT. The following examples are those areas to be checked further. Faulty DC power supply control of the transmitter power amplifier. RF power controller of the pre-power amplifier stage. I/Q control of the baseband stage. Some degradation in the gain and output power level of the amplifier due to the degraded gain control and/or increased distortion. Some degradation of the amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics. Power amplifiers are one of the final stage elements of a base or mobile transmitter and are a critical part of meeting the important power and spectral efficiency specifications. Since spectrum emission mask measures the spectral response of the amplifier to a complex wideband signal, it is a key measurement linking amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics to the stringent system specifications. 162 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Occupied Bandwidth Measurement Making the Occupied Bandwidth Measurement Purpose Occupied bandwidth measures the bandwidth containing 99.0% of the total transmission power. The spectrum shape of a W-CDMA (3GPP) signal can give useful qualitative insight into transmitter operation. Any distortion to the spectrum shape can indicate problems in transmitter performance. Measurement Method The instrument uses digital signal processing (DSP) to sample the input signal and convert it to the frequency domain. With the instrument tuned to a fixed center frequency, samples are digitized at a high rate with DSP hardware, and then converted to the frequency domain with FFT software. The total absolute power within the measurement frequency span is integrated for its 100% of power. The lower and upper frequencies containing 0.5% each of the total power are then calculated to get 99.0% bandwidth. This measurement is available for use with both the RF input and baseband I/Q inputs. For details on Baseband I/Q operation see the section on Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238. Making the Measurement NOTE The factory default settings provide a good starting point. For special requirements, you may need to change some of the settings.

Troubleshooting Hints Any distortion such as harmonics or intermodulation, for example, produces undesirable power outside the specified bandwidth. Shoulders on either side of the spectrum shape indicate spectral regrowth and intermodulation. Rounding or sloping of the top shape can indicate filter shape problems. Chapter 4 167 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Code Domain Measurement Making the Code Domain Measurement Purpose Since the code domain measurements despread and descramble the W-CDMA (3GPP) signal into its physical channels, the number of active channels of various symbol rates (which are denoted by widths) can be observed. The width of the channel is inversely proportional to the Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) code length in number of bits. In the code domain, there is a fixed amount of code space for a given chip rate. Therefore, by using the different OVSF codes, the system can dynamically allocate the code space for lower rate voice users versus high speed data users. This code domain power composite view provides information about the in-channel characteristics of the W-CDMA (3GPP) signal. It directly informs the user of the active channels with their individual channel powers. The composite view also shows which data rates are active and the corresponding amount of code space used. The following are conditions under which a general unlock can occur: the DPCCH signal is too low in power or no such signal available for MS measurements, an incorrect long code is used for despreading, the frequency error is too large, or a frequency inversion is present. When the level of the code domain noise floor is too high, relative to a reference or an expected level, one of the possible causes might be due to CW interference, like local oscillator feedthrough or spurs. I/Q modulation impairments can be another source of this uncorrelated noise. The I/Q demodulation measurements can reveal errors such as I/Q gain imbalance or I/Q quadrature error. Measurement Method This procedure measures the power levels of the spread channels in composite RF channels. For BTS tests, the symbol based sync type is available for defining any channel code to synchronize with. Therefore, CPICH and SCH are not always required for synchronization. If Device is set to MS, the demodulated I and Q signals are individually shown in the code domain power graph window. Unlike most of the other measurements, Measure in the Meas Control menu default is Single for this measurement. This measurement is available for use with both the RF input and baseband I/Q inputs. For details on Baseband I/Q operation see the section on Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238. The code domain measurement displays the power for each of the spread channels. This power is relative to the total power within the 3.840 MHz channel bandwidth and centered around the center 168 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Code Domain Measurement frequency. Each spread channel level is displayed as an individual vertical bar with a different width determined by a spread rate. Because this is a relative measurement, the default unit of measure is to dBc. However, Meas Type toggles the power unit between Abs (absolute) and Rel (relative). Depending on the selection of the View/Trace menu, two to four display windows are available with the different combinations of measurement results. Table 4-13 shows the combinations for the signal capture time settings and the view/trace selections.

Chapter 4 185 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Code Domain Measurement Troubleshooting Hints Uncorrelated interference may cause CW interference like local oscillator feedthrough or spurs. Another uncorrelated noise may be due to I/Q modulation impairments. Correlated impairments can be due to the phase noise on the local oscillator in the upconverter or I/Q modulator of the UUT. These will be analyzed by the code domain measurements along with the QPSK EVM measurements and others. A poor phase error indicates a problem at the I/Q baseband generator, filters, and/or modulator in the transmitter circuitry of the UUT. The output amplifier in the transmitter can also create distortion that causes unacceptably high phase error. In a real system, a poor phase error will reduce the ability of a receiver to correctly demodulate the received signal, especially in marginal signal conditions. 186 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurement Making the Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurement Purpose In addition to the QPSK EVM and symbol EVM measurements, the composite EVM measurement is made to qualify a transmitter. QPSK EVM is for single channel analysis and does not take into account spreading and scrambling. Symbol EVM is for measuring a single coded channel. The composite EVM measurement is the modulation accuracy against the multi coded reference chip power through the spreading and scrambling circuits. Rho is one of the key modulation quality metrics, along with EVM and code domain power. Rho is the ratio of the correlated power in a multi coded channel to the total signal power. This measurement takes into account all possible error mechanisms in the entire transmission chain including: baseband filtering, I/Q modulation anomalies, filter amplitude and phase non-linearities, and power amplifier distortions. This provides an overall indication of the performance level of the transmitter of the UUT. Measurement Method This procedure measures the performance of the transmitters modulation circuitry. In a digitally modulated signal, it is possible to predict what the ideal magnitude and phase of the carrier should be at any time, based on the transmitted data sequence. Modulation accuracy is a measure of the difference between a measured signal and an ideal, theoretical modulated signal. For MS measurements, the measured signal is the input signal to the HPSK de-scrambling circuit. The theoretically ideal modulated signal is the reference signal. The modulation vectors of each signal are compared, and difference between these two vectors is sampled and processed using DSP. The modulation accuracy measurement is made to get results for a composite error vector magnitude, rho, and code domain error from this difference. The code domain error is computed by projecting the error vector power onto the code domain at the maximum spreading factor. The error vector for each power code is defined as the ratio to the mean power of the reference waveform expressed in dB. Rho values are in the range of 0 to 1. A value of 1 indicates perfect correlation to the reference (high modulation quality). This measurement is available for use with both the RF input and baseband I/Q inputs. For details on Baseband I/Q operation see the section on Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238. Chapter 4 187 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurement With the modulation accuracy measurement, the following data is provided: Rho - modulation quality representing the ratio of the correlated power in a multi coded channel to the total signal power EVM - peak and rms error vector magnitude Peak CDE at C8 SF256 for BTS test or at C2 SF4 for MS test - peak code domain error at the code number, with respect to the ideal total power Peak Active CDE - peak active code domain error with a code number Magnitude Error - rms magnitude error Phase Error - rms phase error Freq Error - the frequency difference between the transmitters actual center frequency and the frequency (or channel) that you entered I/Q Origin Offset - the origin offset for I/Q signals, Time Offset - the time offset between the external frame trigger and CPICH If both the primary antenna CPICH C9(0) and STTD (Space Time Transmit Diversity) antenna CPICH C9(1) are detected, and Multi Channel Estimator is set to On, then the measured value Time Offset will change to Diversity Timing Err to show the time difference between these two channels (CPICH C9(0) and CPICH C9(1)). The multi channel estimator function is in the Advanced menu of the Meas Setup key. Active Channels - the number of active channels in the input signal 188 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurement Making the Measurement NOTE The factory default settings provide a good starting point.

Chapter 4 199 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurement Troubleshooting Hints A poor phase error often indicates a problem with the I/Q baseband generator, filters, and/or modulator in the transmitter circuitry of the UUT. The output amplifier in the transmitter can also create distortion that causes unacceptably high phase error. In a real system, a poor phase error will reduce the ability of a receiver to correctly demodulate the received signal, especially in marginal signal conditions. If the error code 503 Can not correlate to input signal is shown, it means that your measurement has failed to find any active channels due to the lack of correlation with the input signal. The input signal level and/or scramble code may need to be adjusted to obtain correlation. 200 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the QPSK EVM Measurement Making the QPSK EVM Measurement Purpose Phase and frequency errors are measures of modulation quality for the W-CDMA (3GPP) system. This modulation quality is quantified through QPSK Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) measurements. Since the base stations in W-CDMA (3GPP) systems use Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation, the phase and frequency accuracies of the transmitter are critical to the communications system performance and ultimately affect range. W-CDMA (3GPP) receivers rely on the phase and frequency quality of the QPSK modulation signal in order to achieve the expected carrier to noise ratio. A transmitter with high phase and frequency errors will often still be able to support phone calls during a functional test. However, it will tend to cause difficulty for mobiles trying to maintain service at the edge of the cell with low signal levels or under difficult fading and Doppler conditions. Measurement Method The signal needs to be a single coded signal such as one DPCH. The phase error of the unit under test is measured by computing the difference between the phase of the transmitted signal and the phase of a theoretically perfect signal. The instrument samples the transmitter output in order to capture the actual phase trajectory. This is then demodulated and the ideal phase trajectory is mathematically derived using detected bits and root-raised cosine channel filtering. Subtracting one from the other results in a phase error signal. This measurement allows you to display these errors numerically and graphically on the instrument display. There are graphs for I/Q Measured Polar Vector, I/Q Measured Polar Constellation, EVM, Phase Error and Mag Error in the graph windows. In the text window, there are both maximum and average data for Evm: in % rms, in % peak, RMS Mag Error: in %, Phase Error: in degrees, Freq Error: in Hz, and IQ Origin Offset: in dB. This measurement is available for use with both the RF input and baseband I/Q inputs. For details on Baseband I/Q operation see the section on Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238.

Troubleshooting Hints A poor phase error indicates a problem with the I/Q baseband generator, filters, and/or modulator in the transmitter circuitry of the UUT. The output amplifier in the transmitter can also create distortion that causes unacceptably high phase error. In a real system, a poor phase error will reduce the ability of a receiver to correctly demodulate the received signal, especially in marginal signal conditions. 208 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Power Stat CCDF Measurement Making the Power Stat CCDF Measurement Purpose Many of the digitally modulated signals now look noise-like in the time and frequency domain. This means that statistical measurements of the signals can be a useful characterization. Power Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) curves characterize the higher level power statistics of a digitally modulated signal. The curves can be useful in determining design parameters for digital communications systems. The power statistics CCDF measurement can be affected by many factors. For example, modulation filtering, modulation format, combining the multiple signals at different frequencies, number of active codes, and correlation between symbols on different codes with spread spectrum systems will all affect measurement results. These factors are all related to modulation and signal parameters. External factors such as signal compression and expansion by nonlinear components, group delay distortion from filtering, and power control within the observation interval also affect the measurement. Measurement Method The power measured in power statistics CCDF curves is actually instantaneous envelope power defined by the equation: P = (I 2 + Q 2 ) / Zo (where I and Q are the quadrature voltage components of the waveform and Zo is the characteristic impedance). A CCDF curve is defined by how much time the waveform spends at or above a given power level. The percent of time the signal spends at or above the level defines the probability for that particular power level. For capturing a lower probability down to 0.0001%, this measurement is made in the single mode by setting Measure under Meas Control to Single. To make the power statistics CCDF measurement, the instrument uses digital signal processing (DSP) to sample the input signal in the channel bandwidth. The Gaussian distribution line as the band-limited Gaussian noise CCDF reference line, the user-definable reference trace, and the currently measured trace can be displayed on a semi-log graph. If the currently measured trace is above the user reference trace, it means that the higher peak power levels against the average power are included in the input signal.

Troubleshooting Hints The power statistics CCDF measurement can contribute in setting the signal power specifications for design criteria for systems, amplifiers, and other components. For example, it can help determine the optimum operating point to adjust each code timing for appropriate peak/average power ratio throughout the wide channel bandwidth of the transmitter for a W-CDMA (3GPP) system. As this measurement is a new method, there will be some correlations between CCDF curve degradation and digital radio system measurement parameters such as BER, FER, code domain power, and ACPR. Some studies will help set standards for radio design by specifying the maximum allowed CCDF curve degradation for specific systems. Chapter 4 213 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Measurement Making the Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Measurement Purpose The spectrum measurement provides spectrum analysis capability for the instrument. The control of the measurement was designed to be familiar to those who are accustomed to using swept spectrum analyzers. This measurement is FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) based. The FFT-specific parameters are located in the Advanced menu. Also available under basic mode spectrum measurements is an I/Q window, which shows the I and Q signal waveforms in parameters of voltage versus time. The advantage of having an I/Q view available while in the spectrum measurement is that it allows you to view complex components of the same signal without changing settings or measurements. Measurement Method The measurement uses digital signal processing to sample the input signal and convert it to the frequency domain. With the instrument tuned to a fixed center frequency, samples are digitized at a high rate, converted to I and Q components with DSP hardware, and then converted to the frequency domain with FFT software. This measurement is available for use with both the RF input and baseband I/Q inputs. For details on Baseband I/Q operation see the section on Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238.

Any changes from the default advanced values may result in invalid measurement data. Make sure the Spectrum (Freq Domain) measurement is selected under the Measure menu. Press the Meas Setup key to access a menu which allows you to modify the averaging and trigger source for this measurement (as described in the Measurement Setup section). In addition, the following parameters can be modified: Span - Allows you to modify the frequency span. The range is 10.000 Hz to 10.000 MHz with 1 Hz resolution, depending on the Res BW setting. Changing the span causes the resolution bandwidth to change automatically, and will affect data acquisition time. Res BW - Allows you to set the resolution bandwidth for the FFT, and to toggle its mode between Auto and Man (manual). If set to Auto, the resolution bandwidth is set to Span/50 (2% of the span). If set to Man, you can enter a value ranging from 100.0 mHz to 3.00000 MHz. A narrower bandwidth will result in a longer data acquisition time. Advanced - Allows you to access the menu to change the following parameters. The FFT advanced features should be used only if you are familiar with their operation. Changes from the default values may result in invalid data. Pre-ADC BPF - Allows you to toggle the pre-ADC bandpass filter function between On and Off. The pre-ADC bandpass filter is useful for rejecting nearby signals, so that sensitivity within the span range can be improved by increasing the ADC range gain. Pre-FFT Fltr - Allows you to toggle the pre-FFT filter between Flat (flat top) and Gaussian. The pre-FFT filter defaults to a flat top filter which has better amplitude accuracy. The Gaussian filter has better pulse response. Pre-FFT BW - Allows you to toggle the pre-FFT bandwidth function between Auto and Man (manual). The pre-FFT bandwidth filter can be set between 1 Hz and 10 MHz. If set to Auto, this pre-FFT bandwidth is nominally 50% wider than the span. This bandwidth determines the ADC sampling rate. FFT Window - Allows you to access the following selection menu. Advanced (Continued) Decimation 0; Auto IF Flatness On Table 1 Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Measurement Defaults Measurement Parameter Factory Default Condition Chapter 4 217 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Measurement Unless you are familiar with FFT windows, use the flat top filter (the default filter). Flat Top - Selects this filter for best amplitude accuracy by reducing scalloping error. Uniform - Select this filter to have no window active by using the uniform setting. Hanning - Press this key to activate the Hanning filter. Hamming - Press this key to activate the Hamming filter. Gaussian - Press this key to activate the Gaussian filter with the roll-off factor (alpha) of 3.5. Blackman - Press this key to activate the Hamming filter. Blackman Harris - Press this key to activate the Hamming filter. K-B 70dB/90dB/110dB (Kaiser-Bessel) - Select one of the Kaiser-Bessel filters with sidelobes at 70, 90, or 110 dBc. FFT Size - Allows you to access the menu to change the following parameters: Length Ctrl - Allows you to toggle the FFT and window length setting function between Auto and Man (manual). Min Pts in RBW - Allows you to set the minimum number of data points that will be used inside the resolution bandwidth. The range is 0.10 to 100.00 points with 0.01 resolution. This key is grayed out if Length Ctrl is set to Man. Window Length - Allows you to enter the FFT window length in the number of capture samples, ranging from 8 to 1048576. This length represents the actual quantity of I/Q samples that are captured for processing by the FFT (Capture Time is the associated parameter shown on the screen). This key is grayed out if Length Control is set to Auto. FFT Length - Allows you to enter the FFT length in the number of captured samples, ranging from 8 to 1048576. The FFT length setting is automatically limited so that it is equal to or greater than the FFT window length setting. Any amount greater than the window length is implemented by zero-padding. This key is grayed out if Length Control is set to Auto. ADC Range - Allows you to access the menu to define one of the following ADC ranging functions: Auto - Select this to set the ADC range automatically. For most FFT spectrum measurements, the auto feature should not be selected. An exception is when measuring a signal which is bursty, in which case auto can maximize the time domain 218 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Measurement dynamic range, if FFT results are less important to you than time domain results. Auto Peak - Select this to set the ADC range automatically to the peak signal level. Auto peak is a compromise that works well for both CW and burst signals. AutoPeakLock - Select this to hold the ADC range automatically at the peak signal level. Auto peak lock is more stable than auto peak for CW signals, but should not be used for bursty signals. Manual - Allows you to access the selection menu: 6 dB, 0 dB, +6 dB, +12 dB, +18 dB, +24 dB, to set the ADC range level. Also note that manual ranging is best for CW signals. Data Packing - Allows you to select Auto (the default) or the Short (16 bit), Medium (24 bit) and Long (32 bit) methods of data packing. The short, medium, and long methods are not compatible with all settings and should not be used unless you are familiar with data packing methods. Auto is the preferred choice. Auto - The data packing value most appropriate for current instrument settings is selected automatically. Short (16 bit) - Select this to pack data every 16 bits. Medium (24 bit) - Select this to pack data every 24 bits. Long (32 bit) - Select this to pack data every 32 bits. ADC Dither - Allows you to toggle the ADC dither function between Auto, On, and Off. When set to Auto (the default), the ADC dither function will be activated when a narrow bandwidth is being measured, and deactivated when a wide bandwidth is being measured. ADC dither refers to the introduction of noise to the digitized steps of the analog-to-digital converter; the result is an improvement in amplitude accuracy. Use of the ADC dither, however, reduces dynamic range by approximately 3 dB. Decimation - Allows you to toggle the decimation function between Auto and Man, and to set the decimation value. Auto is the preferred setting, and the only setting that guarantees alias-free FFT spectrum measurements. If you are familiar with the decimation feature, you can change the decimation value by setting to Man, but be aware that aliasing can result in higher values. Decimation numbers 1 to 4 describe the factor by which the number of points are reduced. The default setting is 1, which results in no data point reduction. IF Flatness - Allows you to toggle the IF flatness function between On and Off. If set to On (the default), back ground amplitude corrections are performed on the FFT spectrum. The Off setting is used for adjustment and troubleshooting of the test instrument. Chapter 4 219 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Measurement Changing the View The View/Trace key allows you to select the desired view of the measurement from the following.

Press the Spectrum Avg key to activate a marker on the average spectrum trace. 4. Press Function, Band Power. 5. Two marker lines are activated at the extreme left side of the horizontal scale. Press Normal and move marker 1 to the desired place by rotating the RPG knob. 226 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Measurement 6. Press Delta to bring marker 2 to the same place as marker 1. 7. Move marker 1 to the other desired position by rotating the RPG knob. Band power measures the average power between the two markers. 8. When the band power markers are active, the results are shown in the results window as Mean Pwr (Between Mks). When the band power function is off the results window reads Mean Pwr (Entire Trace). Troubleshooting Hints Changes made by the user to advanced spectrum settings, particularly to ADC range settings, can inadvertently result in spectrum measurements that are invalid and cause error messages to appear. Care needs to be taken when using advanced features. Chapter 4 227 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Waveform (Time Domain) Measurement Making the Waveform (Time Domain) Measurement Purpose The waveform measurement is a generic measurement for viewing the input signal waveforms in the time domain. This measurement is how the instrument performs the zero span functionality found in traditional spectrum analyzers. Also available under basic mode waveform measurements is an I/Q window, which shows the I and Q signal waveforms in parameters of voltage versus time. The advantage of having an I/Q view available while in the waveform measurement is that it allows you to view complex components of the same signal without changing settings or measurements. The waveform measurement can be used to perform general purpose power measurements to a high degree of accuracy. Measurement Method The instrument makes repeated power measurements at a set frequency, similar to the way a swept-tuned spectrum analyzer makes zero span measurements. The input analog signal is converted to a digital signal, which then is processed into a representation of a waveform measurement. The measurement relies on a high rates of sampling to create an accurate representation of a time domain signal. This measurement is available for use with both the RF input and baseband I/Q inputs. For details on Baseband I/Q operation see the section Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 238. Making the Measurement NOTE The factory default parameters provide a good starting point.You may want to change some of the settings. Press Meas Setup, More (1 of 2), Restore Meas Defaults at any time to return all parameters for the current measurement to their default settings. Press MEASURE, Waveform (Time Domain) to immediately make a waveform (time domain) measurement. To change any of the measurement parameters from the factory default values, refer to the Changing the Measurement Setup section for this measurement. 228 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Waveform (Time Domain) Measurement Results The next figure shows an example of a Signal Envelope result for the waveform (time domain) measurements in the graph window. The measured values for the mean power and peak-to-mean power are shown in the text window.

The range is 1.0 s and 100.0 s, depending upon the resolution bandwidth setting and the available internal memory size for acquisition points. Res BW - Allows you to set the measurement bandwidth. The range is 10 Hz to 7.5 MHz. A larger bandwidth results in a larger number of acquisition points and reduces the maximum value allowed for the sweep time. Advanced - Allows you to access the menu to change the following parameters. Changes from the default values may result in invalid data. Pre-ADC BPF - Allows you to toggle the pre-ADC bandpass filter function between On or Off. The default setting is Off. The pre-ADC bandpass filter is useful for rejecting nearby signals, so that sensitivity within the span range can be improved by increasing the ADC range gain. RBW Filter - Allows you toggle the resolution bandwidth filter selection between Flat and Gaussian. If set to Gaussian, the filter provides more even time-domain response, particularly for bursts. If set to Flat, the filter provides a flatter bandwidth but is less accurate for pulse responses. A flat top filter also requires less memory and allows longer data acquisition times. For most waveform applications, the Gaussian filter is recommended. ADC Range - Allows you to access the menu to select one of the ADC ranging functions: Auto - Select this to cause the instrument to automatically adjust the signal range for optimal measurement results. AutoPeak - Select this to cause the instrument to continuously seek the highest peak signal. AutoPeakLock - Select this to cause the instrument to adjust the range for the highest peak signal it identifies, and retains the range settings determined by that peak signal, even when the peak signal is no longer present. Manual - Allows you to access the selection menu: 6 dB, 0 dB, +6 dB, +12 dB, +18 dB, +24 dB, to set the ADC range level. Also note that manual ranging is best for CW signals. Data Packing - Allows you to select Auto (the default) or the Short (16 bit), Medium (24 bit) and Long (32 bit) methods of data packing. The short, medium, and long methods are not compatible with all settings and should not be used unless you are familiar with data packing methods. Auto is the preferred choice. Chapter 4 231 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Waveform (Time Domain) Measurement Auto - The data packing value most appropriate for current instrument settings is selected automatically. Short (16 bit) - Select this to pack data every 16 bits. Medium (24 bit) - Select this to pack data every 24 bits. Long (32 bit) - Select this to pack data every 32 bits. ADC Dither - Allows you to toggle the ADC dither function between On and Off. The default setting is Off. If set to On, the ADC dither refers to the introduction of noise to the digitized steps of the analog-to-digital converter, and results in better amplitude linearity and resolution in low level signals. However, it also results in reduced dynamic range by approximately 3 dB. Decimation - Allows you to toggle the decimation function between On and Off, and to set the decimation value. Decimation allows longer acquisition times for a given bandwidth by eliminating data points. Long time captures can be limited by the instrument data acquisition memory. Decimation numbers 1 to 4 describe the factor by which the number of points are reduced. The default setting is 1, which results in no data point reduction. 232 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Making the Waveform (Time Domain) Measurement Changing the View The View/Trace key allows you to access the selection menu for the desired measurement view.

NOTE In the Waveform measurement, the Mean Pwr (Entire Trace) value plus the Pk-to-Mean value will sum to equal the current Max Pt. value as shown in the data window below the RF Envelope display. If you do a marker peak search (Search) with averaging turned off, the marker will find the same maximum point. However, if you turn averaging on, the Pk-to-Mean value will use the highest peak found for any acquisition during averaging, while the marker peak will look for the peak of the display, which is the result of n-averages. This will usually result in differing values for the maximum point. Troubleshooting Hints Changes made by the user to advanced waveform settings can inadvertently result in measurements that are invalid and cause error messages to appear. Care needs to be taken when using advanced features. 238 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Option B7C, Baseband I/Q Inputs, provides the ability to analyze baseband I/Q signal characteristics of mobile and base station transmitters. This option may be used only in conjunction with the following personalities: Basic mode (available in all VSA Series Transmitter Testers) Option BAF W-CDMA Measurement Personality Option B78 cdma2000 Measurement Personality What are Baseband I/Q Inputs? Option B7C consists of a Baseband Input module, four 50 BNC connectors, and internal cabling. The four BNC connectors are grouped into pairs at the upper left corner of the front panel. The upper two connectors labeled I and Q are the unbalanced inputs. In practice, an unbalanced or single ended baseband measurement of an I or Q signal is made using a probe connected to the I or Q connector. A simultaneous I/Q unbalanced single ended measurement may be made using two probes connected to the I and Q input connectors. If balanced signals are available, they may be used to make a more accurate measurement. Balanced signals are signals present in two separate conductors, are symmetrical about ground, and are opposite in polarity, or out of phase by 180 degrees. Measurements using balanced signals can have a higher signal to noise ratio, improving accuracy. Noise coupled into each conductor equally in a common mode to both signals may be separated from the signal. The measure of this separation is common-mode rejection. To make a balanced measurement, the lower two connectors labeled I and Q are used in conjunction with the I and Q inputs. The terms I-bar and Q-bar may be applied to the signals, as well as the inputs themselves. Probes (customer provided) must be used to input balanced baseband I/Q signals. This may be referred to as a balanced measurement. Balanced baseband measurements are made using the I and I connectors for I only signal measurements, while the Q and Q connectors are used for a Q only signal measurement. Balanced measurements of I/Q require differential probe connections to all four input connectors. For details of probe selection and use, refer to Selecting Input Probes for Baseband Measurements on page 242. Chapter 4 239 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs What are Baseband I/Q Signals? In transmitters, the term baseband I/Q refers to signals that are the fundamental products of individual I/Q modulators, before the I and Q component signals are combined, and before upconversion to IF or RF frequencies. In receivers, baseband I/Q analysis may be used to test the I and Q products of I/Q demodulators, after an RF signal has been downconverted and demodulated. Why Make Measurements at Baseband? Baseband I/Q measurements are a valuable means of making qualitative analyses of the following operating characteristics: I/Q signal layer access for performing format-specific demodulation measurements (e.g. CDMA, GSM, W-CDMA): Modulation Accuracy i.e. I/Q plane metrics Rho Error Vector Magnitude; RMS, peak, 95% carrier feed-through frequency error magnitude and phase errors Code-domain analysis (including code-specific metrics) CCDF of I 2 +Q 2 Single Sideband (SSB) metrics for assessing output quality Basic analysis of I and Q signals in isolation including: DC content, RMS, P-P levels, CCDF of each channel Comparisons of measurements made at baseband and RF frequencies produced by the same device are especially revealing. Once signal integrity is verified at baseband, impairments can be traced to specific stages of upconversion, amplification, or filtering by RF analysis. Likewise, impairments to signal quality that are apparent at RF frequencies may be traceable to baseband using baseband analysis. 240 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Making Measurements with Baseband I/Q Inputs Baseband I/Q measurements are similar to RF measurements. To avoid duplication, this section describes only the details unique to using the baseband I/Q inputs. For generic measurement details, refer to the previous Making Measurements sections. The following measurements are available for use with Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs: Channel Power Occupied Bandwidth Code Domain Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) QPSK EVM Power Stat CCDF Spectrum (Frequency Domain) Waveform (Time Domain) NOTE The following measurements are not available for use with Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs: ACPR (ACLR) Intermodulation Spectrum Emission Mask Multi Carrier Power Chapter 4 241 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Baseband I/Q Measurement Overview To make measurements using Baseband I/Q Inputs, you must make the following selections: Select a measurement that supports baseband I/Q inputs.

For details see Baseband I/Q Measurement Views on page 251. 242 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Selecting Input Probes for Baseband Measurements The selection of baseband measurement probe(s) and measurement method is primarily dependent on the location of the measurement point in the circuit. The probe must sample voltages without imposing an inappropriate load on the circuit. The following measurement methods may be used with baseband I/Q inputs: 50 Unbalanced - This is the measurement method of choice if single ended or unbalanced baseband I and/or Q signals are available in 5 coaxial transmission lines and are terminated in a coaxial connectors. Adapters necessary to convert to a 50 BNC male connector must be of 50 impedance. The methods are as follows: I only measurement using one single-ended probe connected to the I input connector Q only measurement using one single-ended probe connected to the Q input connector I/Q measurement using two single-ended probes connected to the I and Q input connectors 600 Balanced - This is the measurement method of choice if balanced baseband signals having a 600 impedance are available. The methods are as follows: I only measurement using one differential probe or two single-ended probes connected to the I and I inputs Q only measurement using one differential probe or two single-ended probes connected to the Q and Q inputs I/Q measurement using two differential probes or four single-ended probes connected to the I, Q, I, and Q input connectors 1 M Unbalanced - High input impedance is the measurement method of choice if single ended or unbalanced baseband signals to be measured lie in a trace on a circuit board and are sensitive to loading by the probe. This is the default input connector setting. When making 1 M measurements, the reference input impedance may be adjusted. For details refer to Setting Up Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 247. 1 M unbalanced measurements may be made as follows: I only measurement using one single-ended probe connected to the I input connector Q only measurement using one single-ended probe connected to the Q input connector Chapter 4 243 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs I/Q measurement using two single-ended probes connected to the I and Q input connectors 1 M Balanced - High input impedance measurements may also be made if differential or balanced signals are available. 1 M balanced measurements may be made as follows: I only measurement using one differential probe or two single-ended probes connected to the I and I inputs Q only measurement using one differential probe or two single-ended probes connected to the Q and Q inputs I/Q measurement using two differential probes or four single-ended probes connected to the I, Q, I, and Q input connectors This is the measurement method of choice if differential or balanced baseband signals to be measured lie in a trace on a circuit board and are sensitive to loading by the probe. When making 1 M measurements, the reference input impedance may be adjusted. For details refer to Setting Up Baseband I/Q Inputs on page 247. 244 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs The following table lists currently available Agilent probes which are suitable for use under various measurement conditions: Refer to the current Agilent data sheet for each probe for specific information regarding frequency of operation and power supply requirements. The Transmitter Tester provides one three-wire probe power connector on the front panel. Typically, it can energize one probe. If you plan on operating more than one probe, make sure you provide sufficient external power sources as required.

h. 3.5 mm output connector, requires +/- 15 volt supply Chapter 4 245 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Selecting Baseband I/Q Inputs Baseband I/Q measurements may be made with unbalanced inputs using either two connectors (I and Q), or with balanced inputs using four connectors (I, Q, I, and Q). A variety of high and low input impedances can be selected. This flexibility allows measurements to be made at a maximum number of diagnostic locations in the transmitter circuitry. To use the Baseband I/Q inputs the instrument must be in W-CDMAMode, or another compatible mode which can utilize the Baseband I/Q input ports. For modes that support Baseband I/Q, the inputs and measurement defaults are activated and visible when I/Q is selected for Input Port in the Input menu. For modes which cannot support Baseband I/Q, the inputs and defaults are absent. Selecting Baseband I/Q Input Connectors Option B7C adds a softkey menu that lets you select I/Q inputs. This menu is located under the Input/Output front-panel key in the Input menu. To select an input connector press Input/Output, Input Port. Select the desired input connector(s) from the following choices displayed: RF - Press to select the 50 "N" RF connector. I/Q - Select if using 2 connector unbalanced or 4 connector Balanced I/Q cabling. Complete your selection by choosing the appropriate input impedance and connectors in the section Selecting Baseband I/Q Input Impedance on page 250. I Only - Select if using I and/or I input connectors. Complete your selection by choosing the appropriate input impedance and connectors in the section Selecting Baseband I/Q Input Impedance on page 250. Q Only - Select if using Q and/or Q input connectors. Complete your selection by choosing the appropriate input impedance and connectors in the section Selecting Baseband I/Q Input Impedance on page 250. 50 MHz Ref - Select to view the 50 MHz CW calibration signal (signal level is approximately -25.0 dBm). IF Align - Select to view the IF alignment signal. This signal is available as a diagnostic function, to check the operation of the alignment signal in the case of alignment failure. Once selected, a menu accessing the IF alignment signal parameters is available at the bottom of the Input menu. Either CW, comb, or pulse signals may be selected. Because the alignment signal is input at the IF frequency, it is displayed on any active Spectrum (Freq Domain) window, regardless of center frequency. 246 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Baseband Align Signal (ON OFF) - Select to view the baseband alignment signal. This is available as a diagnostic function, to check the operation of the alignment signal in the case of alignment failure. Because the alignment signal is input at the IF frequency, it is displayed on any Spectrum (Freq Domain) window. The INPUT, Input Port menu is also available under the Mode Setup front-panel key. Chapter 4 247 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Setting Up Baseband I/Q Inputs Option B7C adds two keys that let you adjust the I/Q inputs; the I/Q Setup key and the I/Q Range key. Both keys are located under the Input/Output front panel key in the Input menu. The I/Q Range key lets you select one of four levels as an upper limit for the signal being applied to the Baseband I/Q inputs. The level may be selected in units of dBm, dBmv, dBuv, Volts, and Watts. The following table shows the four-level selections available for each unit of measure: The default is 1 Volt. The I/Q Range power levels in Table 4-20 are based on an I/Q Input Z of 50 . I/Q Range voltage levels are independent of I/Q Input Z. If I/Q Range is set below the default and the error message Input Overload is displayed, this value may be adjusted to its maximum. Beyond that point, the signal must be attenuated to preserve the measurement accuracy. Using a lower value than the default can provide an increased dynamic measurement range. I/Q Setup lets you adjust the following: I Offset - Use I Offset to input a value in Volts to offset the measured I value. The default value is 0.0000 Volts, the min/max values are 2.5600 Volts. The tuning increment depends on the I/Q Range setting as shown in Table 4-21 on page 248. This value only affects the displayed results, and does not appear as a correcting voltage at the probe. Table 4-20 I/Q Range Settings by Displayed Unit of Measure Unit of Measure Highest Setting Lowest Setting dBm 13.0 dBm 7.0 dBm 1.0 dBm 5.1 dBm dBmv 60 dBmv 54 dBmv 48 dBmv 41.9 dBmv dBuv 120.0 dBuv 114.0 dBuv 108 dBuv 101.9 dBuv Volts 1 Volt 500 mV 250 mV 125 mV Watts 20.0 mW 5.0 mW 1.2 mW 310.0 uW 248 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Q Offset - Use Q Offset to input a value in Volts to offset the measured Q value. The default value is 0.0000 Volts, the min/max values are 2.5600 Volts. The tuning increment depends on the I/Q Range setting as shown in Table 4-21. This value only affects the displayed results, and does not appear as a correcting voltage at the probe. I/Q Input Z - This key lets you access a menu to select an input impedance for baseband I/Q input signals. The selection of input impedance is coupled to a connector balance configuration. If I/Q Input Z is set to 1 M , the setting for I/Q Z Ref for Input Z = 1M key becomes effective. For details, refer to Selecting Baseband I/Q Input Impedance on page 250. I/Q Z Ref for Input Z = 1M - This key is used to select the 1 M input reference Z value in Ohms. This key is effective only when I/Q Input Z is set to a 1 M setting. The default value is 50.0 . The value range is 0 to 10 M , with a tuning increment of 1.0 . For more details, refer to Selecting Baseband I/Q Input Impedance on page 250.

Balance refers to whether an input is single-ended (unbalanced) or is balanced. To select an input impedance, press Input/Output, I/Q Setup, I/Q Input Z to display the following choices: 50 Unbalanced - Select to use I and/or Q input connectors. 600 Balanced - Select to use either I and I, Q and Q, or all four I, Q, I, and Q input connectors. 1 M Unbalanced - This is the default input connector setting. Select to use I and/or Q input connectors in an unbalanced mode. When I/Q Input Z is set to a 1 M selection (balanced or unbalanced), the setting for I/Q Z Ref for Input Z = 1M key may be adjusted. Otherwise, the default value for I/Q Z Ref = 1 M is 50 . 1 M Balanced - Select to use either I and I, Q and Q, or all four I, Q, I, and Q input connectors to make a balanced measurement. When I/Q Input Z is set to a 1 M selection (balanced or unbalanced, the setting for I/Q Z Ref for Input Z = 1M key may be adjusted. Otherwise, the default value for I/Q Z Ref = 1 M is 50 Figure 4-32 I/Q Input Z Menu - Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Installed W-CDMA (3GPP 3.4 12-00) Downlink, 1 DCPH, Baseband I/Q Inputs Chapter 4 251 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Baseband I/Q Measurement Views Measurement result views made in Basic mode, or by compatible optional personalities, are available for baseband signals if they relate to the nature of the signal itself. Many measurements which relate to the characteristics baseband I and Q signals have when mixed and upconverted to signals in the RF spectrum can be made as well. However, measurements which relate to the characteristics of an upconverted signal that lie beyond the bandwidth available to the Baseband I/Q Input circuits can not be measured (the limits are ~5 MHz BW for individual I and Q signals, and ~10 MHz for composite I/Q signals). Some measurement views are appropriate for use with both RF and Baseband I/Q signals without any modification, while other views must be altered. Some examples of measurements with identical results views are QPSK EVM, Code Domain, and CCDF. For Spectrum measurements, identical views include the I and Q Waveform view and the I/Q Polar view. For Waveform measurements, identical views include the I/Q Waveform view, the Signal Envelope view, and the I/Q Polar view. At RF frequencies, power measurements are conventionally displayed on a logarithmic vertical scale in dBm units, whereas measurements of baseband signals using Baseband I/Q inputs may be conveniently displayed as voltage using a linear vertical scale as well as a log scale. Spectrum Views and 0 Hz Center Frequency Some views must be altered to account for the fundamental difference between RF and baseband I/Q signals. For Spectrum measurements of I/Q signals this includes using a center frequency of 0 Hz for Spectrum views and the Spectrum Linear view. Occupied Bandwidth and Channel Power results are also displayed using a center frequency of 0 Hz. The center frequency of baseband I/Q Spectrum displays is 0 Hz. Frequencies higher than 0 Hz are displayed as positive and those below 0 Hz are negative. The negative portion of a multi-channel baseband signal below 0 Hz corresponds to the portion of the signal that would lie below the carrier center frequency when it is upconverted, if no spectral inversion occurs. As 0 Hz is a fixed center frequency, the FREQUENCY Channel front-panel key has no active menu for baseband I/Q Spectrum measurements. To view the Spectrum display of I Only or Q Only signals, use the Spectrum measurement capability in Basic Mode. Waveform Views for Baseband I/Q Inputs For Waveform measurements, two new displays are available exclusively for baseband I/Q input signals; the I and Q Waveform view, which separates the individual I and Q traces, and the I/Q Polar view. 252 Chapter 4 Making the W-CDMA (3GPP) Measurements Using Option B7C Baseband I/Q Inputs Since the x-axis for Waveform measurements is Time, the FREQUENCY Channel front-panel key has no active menu for baseband I/Q Waveform measurements. Use Span to change horizontal scale. A Linear Envelope waveform view is also available to display baseband signals that employs linear voltage units on the vertical axis. Waveform Signal Envelope Views of I Only or Q Only To view the Signal Envelope display of I Only or Q Only signals, use the Waveform measurement capability in Basic Mode.

Selects the input signal. The default input signal is taken from the front panel RF input port. For calibration and testing purposes the input signal can be taken from an internal 321.4 MHz IF alignment signal or an internal 50 MHz amplitude reference source. If the baseband IQ option (Option B7C) is installed, I and Q input ports are added to the front panel. The I and Q ports accept the in-phase and quadrature components of the IQ signal, respectively. The input signal can be taken from either or both ports. RF selects the signal from the front panel RF INPUT port. IQ selects the combined signals from the front panel optional I and Q input ports. (Option B7C) AREFerence selects the internal 50 MHz amplitude reference signal. IFALign selects the internal, 321.4 MHz, IF alignment signal. Baseband I/Q - Select I/Q Power Range [:SENSe]:POWer:IQ:RANGe[:UPPer] <power> [DBM]|DBMV|W [:SENSe]:POWer:IQ:RANGe[:UPPer]?

It returns a 0 if the measured results pass when compared with the current limits. It returns a 1 if the measured results fail any limit tests. Data Query :CALCulate:DATA[n]? Returns the designated measurement data for the currently selected measurement and sub-opcode. n = any valid sub-opcode for the current measurement. See the MEASure Group of Commands on page 308 for information on the data that can be returned for each measurement. For sub-opcodes that return trace data use the :CALCulate:DATA[n]:COMPress? command below. Chapter 5 273 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands CALCulate Subsystem Calculate/Compress Trace Data Query :CALCulate:DATA[n]:COMPress? BLOCk|CFIT|MAXimum|MEAN|MINimum|RMS|SAMPle|SD EViation [,<soffset>[,<length>[,<roffset>[,<rlimit>]]]] Returns compressed data for the designated trace data in the currently selected measurement. The command can be used with sub-opcodes (n) for measurements that return several types of trace data. The data is returned in the same units as the original trace. See the following table for the sub-opcodes for the trace names available in each measurement. For sub-opcodes that return scalar data use the :CALCulate:DATA[n]? command above. This command is used to compress/decimate a long trace to extract the desired data and only return to the computer the requested data. A typical example would be to acquire N frames of GSM data and return the mean power of the first burst in each frame. The command can also be used to identify the best curve fit for the data. BLOCk or block data - returns whole segments from the queried trace. For example, it could be used to return a portion of an input signal over several timeslots. CFIT or curve fit - applies curve fitting routines to the data. Where <soffset> and <length> are required, and <roffset> is an optional parameter for the desired order of the curve equation. The query will return the following values: the x-offset (in seconds) and the curve coefficients ((order + 1) values). <soffset> - start offset is an optional real number (in seconds). It specifies the amount of data at the beginning of the trace that will be ignored before the decimation process starts. It is the time from the start of the trace to the point where you want to start using the data. The default value is zero. <length> - is an optional real number (in seconds). It defines how much data will be compressed into one value. This parameter has a default value equal to the current trace length. <roffset> - repeat offset is an optional real number (in seconds). It defines the beginning of the next field of trace elements to be compressed. This is relative to the beginning of the previous field. This parameter has a default value equal to the <length> variable. <rlimit> - repeat limit is an optional integer. It specifies the number of data items that you want returned. It will ignore any additional items beyond that number. You can use the Start offset and the Repeat limit to pick out exactly what part of the data you want to use. The default value is all the data. 274 Chapter 5 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands CALCulate Subsystem Example: To query the mean power of a set of GSM bursts: 1. Set the waveform measurement sweep time to acquire at least one burst. 2. Set the triggers such that acquisition happens at a known position relative to a burst. 3. Then query the mean burst levels using, CALC:DATA2:COMP? MEAN,24e-6,526e-6 (These parameter values correspond to GSM signals, where 526e-6 is the length of the burst in the slot and you just want 1 burst.) NOTE There is a more detailed example in the Improving the Speed of Your Measurements section in the E4406A programmers guide. Remarks: The optional parameters must be entered in the specified order. For example, if you want to specify <length>, you must also specify <soffset>. This command uses the data in the format specified by FORMat:DATA, returning either binary or ASCII data.

Chapter 5 277 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands CALCulate Subsystem Calculate Peaks of Trace Data :CALCulate:DATA[n]:PEAKs? <threshold>,<excursion>[,AMPLitude|FREQuency|TIME] Returns a list of peaks for the designated trace data n for the currently selected measurement. The peaks must meet the requirements of the peak threshold and excursion values. The command can be used with sub-opcodes (n) for any measurement results that are trace data. See the table above. Subopcode n=0, raw trace data cannot be searched for peaks. Both real and complex traces can be searched, but complex traces are converted to magnitude in dBm. Threshold - is the level below which trace data peaks are ignored Excursion - To be defined as a peak, the signal must rise above the threshold by a minimum amplitude change. Excursion is measured from the lowest point above the threshold (of the rising edge of the peak), to the highest signal point that begins the falling edge. Amplitude - lists the peaks in order of descending amplitude, so the highest peak is listed first. This is the default peak order listing if the optional parameter is not specified.

Measurement Available Traces Markers Available? 278 Chapter 5 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands CALCulate Subsystem Example: Select the spectrum measurement. Use CALC:DATA4:PEAK? -40,10,FREQ to identify the peaks above 40 dBm, with excursions of at least 10 dB, in order of increasing frequency. Query Results: Returns a list of floating-point numbers. The first value in the list is the number of peak points that follow. A peak point consists of two values: a peak amplitude followed by the its corresponding frequency (or time). If no peaks are found the peak list will consist of only the number of peaks, (0). The peak list is limited to 100 peaks. Peaks in excess of 100 are ignored. Remarks: This command uses the data setting specified by the FORMat:DATA command and can return real 32-bit, real 64-bit, or ASCII data. The default data format is ASCII. History: Added in revision A.03.00 and later Chapter 5 279 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands CALCulate Subsystem CALCulate:MARKers Subsystem Markers can be put on your displayed measurement data to supply information about specific points on the data. Some of the things that markers can be used to measure include: precise frequency at a point, minimum or maximum amplitude, and the difference in amplitude or frequency between two points. When using the marker commands you must specify the measurement in the SCPI command. We recommend that you use the marker commands only on the current measurement. Many marker commands will return invalid results, when used on a measurement that is not current. (This is true for commands that do more than simply setting or querying an instrument parameter.) No error is reported for these invalid results. You must make sure that the measurement is completed before trying to query the marker value. Using the MEASure or READ command, before the marker command, forces the measurement to complete before allowing the next command to be executed. Each measurement has its own instrument state for marker parameters. Therefore, if you exit the measurement, the marker settings in each measurement are saved and are then recalled when you change back to that measurement.

To position marker 2 at the maximum peak value of the trace that marker 2 is currently on, the command is: :CALCulate:SPECtrum:MARKer2:MAXimum You must make sure that the measurement is completed before trying to query the marker value. Use the MEASure or READ command before using the marker command. This forces the measurement to complete before allowing the next command to be executed. 282 Chapter 5 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands CALCulate Subsystem Markers All Off on All Traces :CALCulate:<measurement>:MARKer:AOFF Turns off all markers on all the traces in the specified measurement.

The full set of commands are described in the section MEASure Group of Commands on page 308. Selecting measurements with the CONFigure/FETCh/MEASure/READ commands sets the instrument state to the defaults for that measurement and to make a single measurement. Other commands are available for each measurement to allow you to change: settings, view, limits, etc. Refer to: SENSe:<measurement>, SENSe:CHANnel, SENSe:CORRection, SENSe:DEFaults, SENSe:DEViation, SENSe:FREQuency, SENSe:PACKet, SENSe:POWer, SENSe:RADio, SENSe:SYNC CALCulate:<measurement>, CALCulate:CLIMits DISPlay:<measurement> TRIGger The INITiate[:IMMediate] or INITiate:RESTart commands will initiate the taking of measurement data without resetting any of the measurement settings that you have changed from their defaults. Configure the Selected Measurement :CONFigure:<measurement> A CONFigure command must specify the desired measurement. It will set the instrument settings for that measurements standard defaults, but should not initiate the taking of data. The available measurements are described in the MEASure subsystem. NOTE If CONFigure initiates the the taking of data, the data should be ignored. Other SCPI commands can be processed immediately after sending CONFigure. You do not need to wait for the CONF command to complete this 'false' data acquisition. Configure Query :CONFigure? The CONFigure query returns the name of the current measurement.

Error conditions that exist prior to switching modes cannot be detected using the condition registers after the mode change. This is true unless they recur after the mode change, although transitions of these conditions can be detected using the event registers. Changing modes resets all SCPI status registers and mask registers to their power-on defaults. Hence, any event or condition register masks must be re-established after a mode change. Also note that the power up status bit is set by any mode change, since that is the default state after power up.

The actual available choices depend upon which modes (measurement applications) are installed in the instrument.A list of the valid choices is returned with the INST:CAT? query. Once an instrument mode is selected, only the commands that are valid for that mode can be executed. 1 = SA 4 = CDMA (cdmaOne) 5 = NADC 6 = PDC 8 = BASIC 9 = WCDMA (3GPP) 10 = CDMA2K (cdma2000) 13 = EDGEGSM 14 = PNOISE (phase noise) Chapter 5 307 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands INSTrument Subsystem NOTE If you are using the status bits and the analyzer mode is changed, the status bits should be read, and any errors resolved, prior to switching modes. Error conditions that exist prior to switching modes cannot be detected using the condition registers after the mode change. This is true unless they recur after the mode change, although transitions of these conditions can be detected using the event registers. Changing modes resets all SCPI status registers and mask registers to their power-on defaults. Hence, any event or condition register masks must be re-established after a mode change. Also note that the power up status bit is set by any mode change, since that is the default state after power up. Example: INST:SEL GSM Factory Preset: Persistent state with factory default of Basic mode. Front Panel Access: Mode 308 Chapter 5 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands MEASure Group of Commands MEASure Group of Commands This group includes the CONFigure, FETCh, MEASure, and READ commands that are used to make measurements and return results. The different commands can be used to provide fine control of the overall measurement process, like changing measurement parameters from their default settings. Most measurements should be done in single measurement mode, rather than measuring continuously. The SCPI default for data output format is ASCII. The format can be changed to binary with FORMat:DATA which transports faster over the bus. CONFigure, FETCh, MEASure, READ Interactions Measure Commands :MEASure:<measurement>[n]? This is a fast single-command way to make a measurement using the factory default instrument settings. These are the settings and units that conform to the Radio Standard that you have currently selected. Stops the current measurement (if any) and sets up the instrument for the specified measurement using the factory defaults Initiates the data acquisition for the measurement Blocks other SCPI communication, waiting until the measurement is complete before returning results. After the data is valid it returns the scalar results, or the trace data, for the specified measurement. The type of data returned may be defined by an [n] value that is sent with the command. The scalar measurement results will be returned if the optional [n] value is not included, or is set to 1. If the [n] value is set to a value other than 1, the selected trace data results will be returned. See each command for details of what types of scalar results or trace data results are available. ASCII is the default format for the data output. The binary data formats should be used for handling large blocks of data since they are smaller and faster then the ASCII format. Refer to the FORMat:DATA command for more information. If you need to change some of the measurement parameters from the factory default settings you can set up the measurement with the CONFigure command. Use the commands in the SENSe:<measurement> and CALCulate:<measurement> subsystems to change the settings. Then you can use the READ? command to initiate the measurement and query the results. See Figure 5-1. Chapter 5 309 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands MEASure Group of Commands If you need to repeatedly make a given measurement with settings other than the factory defaults, you can use the commands in the SENSe:<measurement> and CALCulate:<measurement> subsystems to set up the measurement. Then use the READ? command to initiate the measurement and query results. Measurement settings persist if you initiate a different measurement and then return to a previous one. Use READ:<measurement>? if you want to use those persistent settings. If you want to go back to the default settings, use MEASure:<measurement>?. Figure 5-1 Measurement Group of Commands Configure Commands :CONFigure:<measurement> This command stops the current measurement (if any) and sets up the instrument for the specified measurement using the factory default instrument settings. It sets the instrument to single measurement mode but should not initiate the taking of measurement data unless INIT:CONTinuous is ON. After you change any measurement settings, the READ command can be used to initiate a measurement without changing the settings back to their defaults. NOTE In instruments with firmware older then A.05.00 CONFigure initiates the taking of data. The data should be ignored. Other SCPI commands can be processed immediately after sending CONFigure. You do not need to wait for the CONF command to complete this false data acquisition. The CONFigure? query returns the current measurement name. 310 Chapter 5 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands MEASure Group of Commands Fetch Commands :FETCh:<measurement>[n]? This command puts selected data from the most recent measurement into the output buffer. Use FETCh if you have already made a good measurement and you want to return several types of data (different [n] values, e.g. both scalars and trace data) from a single measurement. FETCh saves you the time of re-making the measurement. You can only FETCh results from the measurement that is currently active, it will not change to a different measurement. If you need to get new measurement data, use the READ command, which is equivalent to an INITiate followed by a FETCh. The scalar measurement results will be returned if the optional [n] value is not included, or is set to 1. If the [n] value is set to a value other than 1, the selected trace data results will be returned. See each command for details of what types of scalar results or trace data results are available. The binary data formats should be used for handling large blocks of data since they are smaller and transfer faster then the ASCII format. (FORMat:DATA) FETCh may be used to return results other than those specified with the original READ or MEASure command that you sent. Read Commands :READ:<measurement>[n]? Does not preset the measurement to the factory default settings. For example, if you have previously initiated the ACP measurement and you send READ:ACP? it will initiate a new measurement using the same instrument settings. Initiates the measurement and puts valid data into the output buffer. If a measurement other than the current one is specified, the instrument will switch to that measurement before it initiates the measurement and returns results. For example, suppose you have previously initiated the ACP measurement, but now you are running the channel power measurement. Then you send READ:ACP? It will change from channel power back to ACP and, using the previous ACP settings, will initiate the measurement and return results. Blocks other SCPI communication, waiting until the measurement is complete before returning the results. If the optional [n] value is not included, or is set to 1, the scalar measurement results will be returned. If the [n] value is set to a value other than 1, the selected trace data results will be returned. See each command for details of what types of scalar results or trace data results are available. The binary data formats should be used Chapter 5 311 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands MEASure Group of Commands when handling large blocks of data since they are smaller and faster then the ASCII format.

(raw ADC samples) When this value is 1 rather than 0 (complex vs. real data), the time domain points and the time spacing scalers both increase by a factor of two. 10. Scan time is the total scan time of the time domain trace used for the FFT. The total scan time = (time spacing) (time domain points 1) 11. Current average count is the current number of data measurements that have already been combined, in the averaging calculation. 2, Service mode only Returns the trace data of the log-magnitude versus time. (That is, the RF envelope.) 3 Returns the I and Q trace data. It is represented by I and Q pairs (in volts) versus time. 4 Returns spectrum trace data.

History: Modified A.05.20 Measurement Results Available n Results Returned 0 Returns unprocessed I/Q trace data, as a series of comma-separated trace points, in volts. The I values are listed first in each pair, using the 0 through even-indexed values. The Q values are the odd-indexed values. 364 Chapter 5 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands MEASure Group of Commands not specified or n=1 Returns the following comma-separated scalar results: 1. Sample time is a floating point number representing the time between samples when using the trace queries (n=0,2,etc). 2. Mean power is the mean power (in dBm). This is either the power across the entire trace, or the power between markers if the markers are enabled. If averaging is on, the power is for the latest acquisition. 3. Mean power averaged is the power (in dBm) for N averages, if averaging is on. This is either the power across the entire trace, or the power between markers if the markers are enabled. If averaging is on, the power is for the latest acquisition. If averaging is off, the value of the mean power averaged is the same as the value of the mean power. 4. Number of samples is the number of data points in the captured signal. This number is useful when performing a query on the signal (i.e. when n=0,2,etc.). 5. Peak-to-mean ratio has units of dB. This is the ratio of the maximum signal level to the mean power. Valid values are only obtained with averaging turned off. If averaging is on, the peak-to-mean ratio is calculated using the highest peak value, rather than the displayed average peak value. 6. Maximum value is the maximum of the most recently acquired data (in dBm). 7. Minimum value is the minimum of the most recently acquired data (in dBm). 2 Returns comma-separated trace points of the entire captured trace data. These data points are floating point numbers representing the power of the signal (in dBm). There are N data points, where N is the number of samples. The period between the samples is defined by the sample time. 3, Option B7C with cdma2000, W-CDMA, Basic modes only Returns comma-separated magnitude values of the time data in Volts peak. 4, Option B7C with cdma2000, W-CDMA, Basic modes only Returns comma-separated values of phase in degrees. 5, cdma2000, W-CDMA, Basic modes only In input modes other than Ionly and Qonly returns comma-separated values of I and Q trace data in Volts. The values are in pairs with the I value first. In Ionly and Qonly the data retured is comma-separated values of the I data or the Q data. n Results Returned Chapter 5 365 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands READ Subsystem READ Subsystem The READ? commands are used with several other commands and are documented in the section on the MEASure Group of Commands on page 308. Initiate and Read Measurement Data :READ:<measurement>[n]? A READ? query must specify the desired measurement. It will cause a measurement to occur without changing any of the current settings and will return any valid results. The code number n selects the kind of results that will be returned. The available measurements and data results are described in the MEASure Group of Commands on page 308. 366 Chapter 5 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands SENSe Subsystem SENSe Subsystem Sets the instrument state parameters so that you can measure the input signal.

If you are measuring a CW signal, see the description below. Auto - sets the ADC range automatically. For most FFT measurements, the auto feature should not be selected. An exception is when measuring a signal which is bursty, in which case the auto feature can maximize the time domain dynamic range, if FFT results are less important to you than time domain results. Auto Peak (APEak) - sets the ADC range automatically to the peak signal level. The auto peak feature is a compromise that works well for both CW and burst signals. Auto Peak Lock (APLock) - holds the ADC range automatically at the peak signal level. The auto peak lock feature is more stable than the auto peak feature for CW signals, but should not be used for bursty signals. M6 - sets an ADC range that subtracts 6 dB of fixed gain across the range manually. Manual ranging is best for CW signals. P0, P6, P12, P18, or P24 - selects ADC ranges that add 0, 6, 12, 18, or 24 dB of fixed gain across the range manually. Manual ranging is best for CW signals.

This is an advanced control that normally does not need to be changed. Auto peak ranging is the default for this measurement. If you are measuring a CW signal please see the following description. Chapter 5 463 W-CDMA (3GPP) Programming Commands SENSe Subsystem AUTO - automatic range For FFT spectrums - auto ranging should not be not be used. An exception to this would be if you know that your signal is bursty. Then you might use auto to maximize the time domain dynamic range as long as you are not very interested in the FFT data. Auto Peak (APEak) - automatically peak the range For CW signals, the default of auto-peak ranging can be used, but a better FFT measurement of the signal can be made by selecting one of the manual ranges that are available: M6, P0 - P24. Auto peaking can cause the ADC range gain to move monotonically down during the data capture. This movement should have negligible effect on the FFT spectrum, but selecting a manual range removes this possibility. Note that if the CW signal being measured is close to the auto-ranging threshold, the noise floor may shift as much as 6 dB from sweep to sweep. Auto Peak Lock (APLock) - automatically peak lock the range For CW signals, auto-peak lock ranging may be used. It will find the best ADC measurement range for this particular signal and will not move the range as auto-peak can. Note that if the CW signal being measured is close to the auto-ranging threshold, the noise floor may shift as much as 6 dB from sweep to sweep. For bursty signals, auto-peak lock ranging should not be used. The measurement will fail to operate, since the wrong (locked) ADC range will be chosen often and overloads will occur in the ADC. M6 - manually selects an ADC range that subtracts 6 dB of fixed gain across the range. Manual ranging is best for CW signals. P0 to 24 - manually selects ADC ranges that add 0 to 24 dB of fixed gain across the range. Manual ranging is best for CW signals.

Other trigger-related commands are found in the INITiate and ABORt subsystems. The trigger parameters are global within the selected Mode. The commands in the TRIGger subsystem set up the way the triggers function, but selection of the trigger source is made from each measurement. There is a separate trigger source command in the SENSe:<meas> subsystem for each measurement. The equivalent front panel keys for the parameters described in the following commands, can be found under the Mode Setup, Trigger key. Automatic Trigger Control :TRIGger[:SEQuence]:AUTO:STATe OFF|ON|0|1 :TRIGger[:SEQuence]:AUTO:STATe? Turns the automatic trigger function on and off. This function causes a trigger to occur if the designated time has elapsed and no trigger occurred. It can be used with unpredictable trigger sources, like external or burst, to make sure a measurement is initiated even if a trigger doesnt occur.
